Crustacea. A list of 99 generic names in Crustacea was submitted 

 to the Commission by Miss Mary J. Rathbun, Secretary to the Ad- 

 visory Committee on the Nomenclature of Crustacea, who reported 

 that, under the International Rules, she considered the names nomen- 

 clatorially correct and valid, and she recommended that they be 

 placed in the Official List of Generic Names. 



The list in question was brought to the attention of the zoological 

 profession in the Secretary's Circular Letter no. 4, dated April, 191 5, 

 and a special effort was made to reach specialists in the group. 

 Replies have been received from various zoologists including W. T. 

 Caiman, Stanley Kemp, J. S. Kingsley, J. G. de Man, and Thomas 

 R. R. Stebbing. 



Every name has been eliminated from the original list in regard to 

 which either the foregoing or any other zoologist has raised the 

 slightest objection or question in their correspondence with the Secre- 

 tary of the Commission, and said names have been referred again 

 to Miss Rathbun for further opinion. 



The following list of eighty-six generic names (for bibliography 

 see footnote ^) contains no name or type designation to which the 

 slightest question or objection has been raised by any person:
