 Nomenclature Section. 



L — It is desirable that the international rules of zoological nomen- 

 clature be followed eiiually by entomology as far as they are adapted to 

 the requirements of this science. 



II. — Ii is desirable that descrij)tions be, as far as possible, accompanied 

 by figures. 



III. — The names of authors ought to be written, as far as possible, in 

 full. The Committee on Entomological Nomenclature is instructed to 

 draw up, for the next Congress, a list of abbreviations of authors' names. 



IV. — Descriptions which are published only in dealers' catalogues and 

 in newspapers are to be disregarded (without retroactive effect). 



V. — The Committee on Entomological Nomenclature is instructed to 

 prepare, for the next Congress, a list of names of genera, species and 

 varieties, whose orthography it is desirable to correct. 



VI. — It is highly desirable that entomological publications bear the 

 exact date of their publication. The permanent international committee 

 is instructed to make known this resolution of the Congress to all the 

 publishers and editors of entomological |)ublications. 



VII. — Knioniology adopts the law of priority, without exception, for 

 the names of genera, species and varieties. The starting point of nomen- 

 clature is the lolh edition of " .Systtmi Natura? " of Linna-us (175S). 



VIII. --The nomenclature section of the first International ("ongress 

 (*f Entomology considers as being of the greatest importance, tlut a new 

 clause be added to the international rules of zoological nomenclature, 

 providing thai, at the time of description of a new species or new variety, 

 one example only shoulil be labelled as "type," the other examples 

 examined by the author at the same lime as " co types." 



'There seemH to be an error here. The Kngliith translation, which follown, 

 gives the meaning which the .sentence wait apparently intended to convey.
