time it appeared as if a split was inevitable. But after con- 
tinued deliberations and long debates moderation prevailed, 
with the result that the Congress has given the Commission 
on Nomenclature power to suspend (under proper safeguards) 
the rules of the Code so that each individual case for which 
exception is claimed can be considered on its own merits. 
In order to meet the wishes of Entomologists as expressed 
by the first and second International Congress of Entomology, 
as well as by the Entomological Society of London, the 
International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature has 
been enlarged from fifteen members to eighteen, four of whom 
are Entomologists (G. Horvath, H. J. Kolbe, H. Skinner and 
K. Jordan). Moreover, it has been arranged that all nomen- 
clatorial matters relating to Entomology are submitted to the 
International Committee on Entomological Nomenclature 
(elected by the Entomological Congresses), which will consider 
them in co-operation with the Entomological National 
Committees appointed by the Entomological Societies of each 
country. By this means every Entomologist will be enabled 
to have his opinion recorded on points which affect the 
nomenclature of his own special branch of study. 
There was a further proposal before the Commission on 
Nomenclature, brought forward by the First International 
Entomological Congress, referring to the labelling of “ types.” 
The Ninth Zoological Congress adopted the proposal in a 
slightly altered form, recommending that in publishing a 
description of a new species or sub-species only one specimen 
be designated and labelled as type, the other specimens 
examined by the author at the same time being paratypes. 
The social arrangements during the Congress were on a 
lavish scale, and the members of the Congress had a most 
enjoyable time in spite of the rather inclement weather. 
The Tenth International Congress of Zoology will be held at 
Budapest in 1916, with Dr. G. Horvath as president. 
Vote of Thanks. 
At the suggestion of the President thanks were voted to 
the Society’s Delegates for their work at the Congress, and to
