Question 18. — (G. T. Bethune-Baker.) 

 Are we to substitute '^ hermione L." in lieu of '■'■ alcyone 

 Schiff." % 



Opinion 18. — Linne's Papilio hermione [Mus. Ludov-Ulr. 

 281 sp. 99 (1764)] was a comprehensive term. The First 

 Reviser was at liberty to restrict the name to which form he 

 preferred. Schifierm idler and Denis [Schm. Wien. 169-70 

 sp. 21 (1775)] separated alcyone S-D., as a distinct species 

 and restricted the application of hermione L. to hermione 

 auctt. Dr. Verity's conclusions cannot therefore be justified.
