the Congress to all the editors and publishers of entomological 

 publications. 



7. Entomology adopts the law of priority without exception 

 for the names of genera, species and varieties. The point of 

 departure for nomenclature is the tenth edition of the Systema 

 Naturae of Linnaeus (1758). 



8. The Section on Nomenclature of the first international 

 Congress of Entomology considers it as of the greatest import- 

 ance that a new rule ("disposition") be added to the interna- 

 tional rules of zoological nomenclature to the effect that in the 

 description of a new species or variety, one specimen ("ex- 

 emplaire") only be marked as "type," the other specimens ex- 

 amined at the same time by the author as "cotypes." 



[At this writing we are not informed as to the action taken
