\VhiIc keeping up lo date and partially revising my " Scudder '" and 

 '• Waterhousc, ' I have from time to lime noted several preoccupied generic 

 names, which, so far as 1 have been able lo find out, have no synonymy 

 whereby the older name could be replaced without fresh creation. .\s 

 letters to specialists have usually resulted in no action being taken in the 

 ni.itter, I now rename a number of them, in the hope thai natural indi^n.i 

 lion at such an unlawlul trespass on my part may induce specialists to 

 purge ihcir own lists. .\ lurlher number I have leli untouched, as 1 am 

 unable to ascertain their possible synonymy.
