26 SMITHSONIAN MISCELLANEOUS COLLECTIONS VOL. J}^ 



The Secretary has aUered several genotypes given by Commissioner 

 Apstein as the genera were pubHshed as monotypic. These alter- 

 ations do not however influence the position of the genera. 



The Notice that the 6i names in question were under consideration 

 was published in Science, May 13, 1927, v. 65 (1689), pp. 471- 

 472, and Zoologischer Anzeiger, v. 71 (1/2), p. 64. 



Objection or question of one sort or another has been raised to five 

 of the 61 names {Atropos, Daphne, Termes, Nepa and Corixa), and 

 these have, therefore, been tabled, temporarily and without prejudice. 



In addition to the 56 names in the Secretary's Circular Letter No. 

 122, one name (Cercoplthccus from Circular Letter No. 102) is added 

 to the list. This name had been tabled temporarily pending a confer- 

 ence between Commissioner Apstein and the Secretary. This con- 

 ference has been held and the slight differences of Opinion on the 

 case have been harmonized, thus making the vote unanimous. Com- 

 missioner Apstein was appointed a special committee of one for 

 special study of this case.
