  accepted. 
  Suppose 
  we 
  do 
  rename 
  them, 
  we 
  shall 
  have 
  to 
  explain 
  

   that 
  they 
  are 
  the 
  old 
  pecans 
  under 
  the 
  new 
  names. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  McCoy: 
  We 
  remember 
  well 
  when 
  we 
  changed 
  the 
  name 
  of 
  

   the 
  Green 
  River. 
  We 
  decided 
  that 
  among 
  ourselves 
  here. 
  The 
  

   Posey 
  pecan 
  used 
  to 
  be 
  the 
  Grayville 
  and 
  you 
  know 
  when 
  we 
  

   changed 
  it. 
  I 
  call 
  it 
  the 
  Grayville 
  yet 
  because 
  I 
  got 
  used 
  to 
  that. 
  

   You 
  changed 
  it 
  to 
  Posey 
  thinking 
  it 
  was 
  from 
  Posey 
  County 
  but 
  

   it 
  really 
  is 
  from 
  Gibson 
  Count}^ 
  I 
  have 
  no 
  doubt 
  many 
  of 
  these 
  

   men 
  here 
  call 
  it 
  the 
  Grayville, 
  and 
  then 
  lots 
  of 
  men 
  that 
  hear 
  me 
  call 
  

   it 
  the 
  Grayville 
  ask 
  me 
  what 
  I 
  mean 
  as 
  they 
  don't 
  recognize 
  it 
  under 
  

   the 
  old 
  name. 
  I 
  am 
  in 
  favor 
  of 
  changing 
  these 
  names. 
  I 
  named 
  

   some 
  of 
  them 
  and 
  you 
  know 
  it, 
  but 
  I 
  didn't 
  always 
  name 
  them 
  right 
  

   and 
  you 
  have 
  changed 
  them 
  here. 
  Can't 
  we 
  do 
  it 
  again 
  if 
  it 
  will 
  

   sell 
  them? 
  

  

  The 
  Secretary: 
  What 
  is 
  the 
  motion 
  exactly? 
  

  

  The 
  President: 
  As 
  I 
  understood 
  it 
  was 
  to 
  appoint 
  a 
  special 
  

   committee 
  to 
  take 
  up 
  the 
  matter, 
  and 
  consider 
  changing 
  these 
  

   names. 
  

  

  The 
  Secretary: 
  Why 
  should 
  we 
  do 
  that 
  when 
  we 
  have 
  already 
  

   a 
  committee 
  on 
  nomenclature? 
  What 
  is 
  the 
  use 
  of 
  a 
  special 
  com- 
  

   mittee? 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Potter: 
  The 
  special 
  committee 
  will 
  report 
  quicker, 
  

  

  The 
  President: 
  If 
  it 
  belongs 
  to 
  the 
  committee 
  on 
  nomencla- 
  

   ture 
  to 
  consider 
  the 
  matter 
  it 
  will 
  be 
  best 
  to 
  do 
  it 
  now, 
  immediately. 
  

   If 
  the 
  names 
  are 
  to 
  be 
  changed 
  they 
  ought 
  not 
  go 
  another 
  year, 
  and 
  

   if 
  not 
  to 
  be 
  changed 
  it 
  ought 
  to 
  be 
  known. 
  The 
  chair 
  will 
  be 
  glad 
  

   to 
  entertain 
  a 
  motion 
  that 
  the 
  committee 
  report 
  tomorrow 
  on 
  it. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Potter: 
  I 
  make 
  a 
  motion 
  that 
  the 
  matter 
  be 
  referred 
  to 
  

   the 
  committee 
  on 
  nomenclature 
  and 
  that 
  they 
  be 
  ordered 
  to 
  report 
  

   tomorrow. 
  

  

  The 
  President: 
  Do 
  I 
  hear 
  a 
  second? 
  

  

  A 
  Member: 
  I 
  second 
  the 
  motion. 
  

  

  C. 
  A. 
  Reed: 
  I 
  am 
  the 
  chairman 
  of 
  that 
  committee 
  and 
  I 
  could 
  

   not 
  report 
  tomorrow 
  so 
  I 
  will 
  ask 
  that 
  if 
  it 
  is 
  to 
  be 
  taken 
  up 
  by 
  com- 
  

   mittee 
  that 
  a 
  special 
  committee 
  be 
  appointed. 
  

  

  The 
  President: 
  It 
  is 
  Mr. 
  W. 
  C. 
  Reed 
  who 
  is 
  the 
  chairman 
  

   of 
  that 
  committee, 
  to 
  which 
  committee 
  was 
  added 
  C. 
  A. 
  Reed 
  and 
  

   R. 
  L. 
  McCoy. 
  

  

  Professor 
  Close: 
  I 
  would 
  Hke 
  to 
  ask 
  Mr. 
  Reed 
  if 
  he 
  is 
  abso- 
  

   lutely 
  sure 
  about 
  the 
  rule 
  he 
  has 
  just 
  quoted 
  of 
  the 
  American 
  Pomo- 
  

   logical 
  Society, 
  that 
  a 
  name 
  cannot 
  be 
  changed. 
  I 
  don't 
  remember 
  

   that 
  rule.
