  The

  is 
  dated

  preface 
  "Cordoue,

  In 
  this 
  preface 
  Dunieril, 
  p. 
  xxiii, 
  wrote 
  : 
  "La 
  classe 
  des

  tout-a-fait 
  nouveaux; 
  mais

  les

   n'avons

   MM.

  partie 
  de 
  la 
  science 
  laissant 
  encore

  The 
  Cuvierian 
  work 
  referred 
  to 
  is 
  designated 
  on 
  the 
  previous 
  page 
  

   as 
  the 
  " 
  Tableau 
  elenientaire 
  de 
  I'Histoire 
  naturelle 
  des 
  Animaux 
  ". 
  

   I 
  tlierefore 
  conclude 
  that 
  the 
  above 
  can 
  be 
  considered 
  as 
  a 
  direct 
  

   bibliographical 
  reference, 
  basing 
  my 
  conclusion 
  on 
  the 
  opinion 
  

   (No. 
  39) 
  given 
  by 
  the 
  International 
  Commission 
  on 
  Zoological 
  

   Nomenclature, 
  when 
  dealing 
  with 
  a 
  very 
  similar 
  case. 
  This 
  decision 
  

   is 
  not 
  in 
  accord 
  with 
  tliat 
  given 
  by 
  Dr. 
  Dall, 
  already 
  quoted, 
  but 
  in 
  

   view 
  of 
  the 
  complication 
  liereatter 
  exposed 
  I 
  suggest 
  reconsideration, 
  

   and 
  moreover 
  confidently 
  anticipate 
  agreement 
  with 
  the 
  results 
  

   advocated 
  in 
  this 
  note. 
  

  

  The 
  complication 
  consists 
  of 
  the 
  German 
  translation, 
  which 
  was 
  

   quoted 
  by 
  Dall 
  without 
  comment, 
  but 
  which 
  necessitates 
  a 
  recon- 
  

   sideration 
  of 
  the 
  whole 
  matter.

  "Halle

  and 
  in 
  

   it 
  he 
  explains 
  that 
  as 
  no 
  examples 
  are 
  given 
  in

  has 
  

   added
