OPINION 105 



DvBOWsKi's (1926) Names of Crustacea Suppressed 



SUMMARY. — Resolved: That all of the new names published in Dybowski's 

 paper, " Synoptisches Verzeichnis mit kurzer Besprechung der Gattungen und 

 Arten dieser Abteilung der Baikalflohkrebse " (Bui. internat. Acad, polonaise 

 d. Sci. et d. Lettres, 1926, No. i-2b, Jan. -Feb., pp. 1-77), are hereby sup- 

 pressed, under Suspension of the Rules, on the ground that the application of 

 the Rules in accepting them " will clearly result in greater confusion than 

 uniformity." 



Statement of case. — Miss Mary J. Rathbun, U. S. National 

 Museum, has raised the question whether the new designations of 

 genera and species pubHshed by Dybowski in " Synoptisches Verzeich- 

 nis mit kurzer Besprechung der Gattungen und Arten dieser Abteil- 

 ung der Baikalflohkrebse " (Bui. internat. Acad, polonaise d. Sci. 

 et d. Lettres, 1926, No. i-2b, Jan. -Feb., pp. 1-77) are available 

 under the International Rules, and, if so, whether it is not wise to 

 sujijjress the names under Suspension of the Rules on the ground 

 that the acceptance of the names under the Rules will produce greater 

 confusion than uniformity. As examples of the designations in ques- 

 tion she cites the following :
