Question 3. — (K. Jordan.) 



X proposed a name for a supposed species closely allied to 

 another species : he does not know which of these species 

 has been already named, and wishes his new name to be 

 applied to the one which has no name. 



What is to be done witli the new name pi'oposed by X ? 



Opinion 3. — A valid name can only be applied to a definite 

 conception (rightly or wrongly formed, but definite so far 

 as the Author is concerned) ; X has formed no conception 

 as to the particular sjDecies to which the new name is to be 

 applied — there is therefore no Species nor Type to which the 

 new name can be applied : this new name is a mere logonym 

 absolutely invalid in nomenclature. 



We legard the publication of such names as most 

 reprehensible.
