774 A Vote against the Strict Application of the 



in drawmg the limit. It has been thought best to apply 

 mainly to the professional zoologists, not including anatomists, 

 palaeontologists, or amateur zoologists. But, upon the whole, 

 it can scarcely be denied that the vote here offered gives 

 really the opinion of the zoologists of Denmark, Finland, 

 Norway, and Sweden. Th. Mortensen. 



The undersigned Scandinavian zoologists are of opinion 

 that the law of priority should be strictly applied iu all 

 cases.

The undersigned Scandinavian and Finnish zoologists

 change on nomenclatorial grounds.
