groups in question who will be requested to submit opinions on tlie 

 nomenclatorial status of said names. 



6] Upon return of the lists from the specialists, the Commission 

 will endeavor to test the names, according to the International Rules, 

 and if feasible will publish a list of the genera in question with their 

 most commonly used names and their correct names. 



7) If the undertaking is successful, the zoologists of the world will 

 be invited to give to the Commission the benefit of their criticisms not 

 later than -luly 1, 1912, so that the Commission can restudy the names 

 and submit to the next Congress. 



8) An Official list of generic names, with their genotypes; 

 and with the 



9) Proposition that the Congress adopt said list and a 



10) Resolution to the effect that no zoologist shall upon iioiiien- 

 clatorial grounds change any name in said list unless he iïrst submits 

 to the Commission his reasons for making the change and unless the 

 Commission considers the reasons valid. 



The Commission believes that this proposition is feasible, but for 

 the present views it is in the light of an experiment, dependent to no 

 small extent upon the question whether a proper amount of cooperation 

 is forthcoming. In this connection the Commission takes the liberty 

 of inviting attention to the fact that the great advances in nomenclature 

 have been made by colleagues who have showed a conviction in their 

 view sufficient to induce them to devote some time to the subject.
