The publication prepared for the AAAS, Zoological Names, A List of Phyla, Classes, and Orders, 

 edited by A. S. Pearse, Fourth Edition (1949) has been invaluable as a guide against which to check 

 the taxonomic organization set up earlier by the CBCC and for preparation of revised lists prior to 

 requesting final checks by the authorities listed above. 



The bacteria and virus sections of the Taxonomy Code have caused particular concern due to 

 extensive revision of the sixth edition (1948) of Bergey's Manual of Determinative Bacteriology , upon 

 which the CBCC bacteria and virus code lists were patterned. The present list represents a compilation 

 in accordance with the new (1957) Manual , made during the time the Manual was being prepared for 

 publication. This would not have been possible without the help of Dr. R. E. Buchanan of Iowa State 

 College through whose kindness the CBCC was given the use of a secretarial galley proof of the seventh 

 edition and who also checked the final list composed for the CBCC Taxonomy Code for accuracy in 

 accordance with later editorial changes. Lieutenant Erwin F. Lessel, Jr. , of Walter Reed Army Medical 

 Center, contributed considerable assistance in checking the validity of many genera and species of 

 bacteria and viruses. 



The virus nomenclature retains the pattern of the sixth edition (1948) of the Manual of Determin - 

 ative Bacteriology upon the advice of Dr. F. O. Holmes of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research. 



The American Type Culture Collection's list of bacteriophage strains was followed in listing 

 the phages. 



In checking the list of plants in the Taxonomy Code, the following botanical reference books 

 were used: A Dictionary of the Fungi by G. C. Ainsworth and G. R. Bisby (Second Edition, 1945); 

 Genera Siphonogamarum by C. G. DeDalla Torre and H. Harms; Cryptogamic Botany, Vol. I, Algae and 

 Fungi by G. M. Smith (1938); The Algae and Their Life Relations by J. E. Tilden (1935); and Cryptogamic 

 Botany, Vol. II, Bryophytes aricTpteridophytes by G. M. Smith (1938). The list of Fungi were checked 

 by John E. Stevenson, U. S. Department of Agriculture, Plant Research Station, Beltsville, Maryland.
