2 Records of the Indian Museum. (VoL. OVE, 
violable for ever. Generic and specific names of long standing 
should be similarly regarded and the strict priorist discouraged 
in every possible way. Within the last few years I read some- 
where that the great majority of American and German zoologists 
were opposed to the rigid application of the law of priority yet 
the International Commission appear to be mainly composed of 
those of the opposite way of thinking. 
Some endeavour has been made to ascertain the location of 
types but for various reasons the results have not been over-satis- 
factory. My best thanks are due and tendered to those who have 
assisted me in this matter, notably Mr. Edwards of the British 
Museum and Mr. F. V. Theobald respecting many of his types in 
Culicidae. 
A number of types (though of which species is by no means 
certain) of Walker and of Doleschall described from the Malay 
Peninsula and the East Indian Islands are definitely known to be 
lost and a certain number of those of Osten Sacken have been for 
many years, presumed lost also. In cases where the location of 
the type is not stated in the present Catalogue it simply means 
that no information has been obtained about it. All types of my 
own species, unless otherwise stated, were in good condition at the 
time of description.
