REPLIES. 



14. Hampson (Sir G. F.). 12 Sept. 1896. 



" The only Pre-Linnaean author on Entomology whose works 

 were accepted in the revised Stricklandian Code was Scopoli 

 and I am of opinion that there are no others who used anything 

 approaching the binomial system of nomenclature of sufficient 

 importance to be added to the list."

15. Walsingham (Lord). 



" The adoption of Linnaeus' loth edition makes it unnecessary 

 to add any Pre-Linnaean (to the 12th edition) names; Scopoli, 

 Clerck, &c. are subsequent to 1758 and are included by the selection 

 of the loth edition as a starting-point, thus we avoid the necessity 

 of establishing a law with saving clauses," 



16. Meyrick (E.). 



" Not that I know of." 



17. KiRBY (W. F.). 



" I do not think it necessary to enlarge the list of so-called ' pre- 

 Linnean authors' accepted, if we take the date of 1758. One 

 reason for going back to this date is on account of the inconvenience 

 and inconsistency of admitting certain exceptions. If we make the 

 date 1758 this is obviated." 



18. Fernald (C. H.). 



" If the loth edition of the Sy sterna Naturae be adopted I know 

 of no writer of earlier date who should be considered." 



19. Smith (J. B.). 



"If the loth edition be accepted as the starting-point no ex- 

 ceptions need be made and no authors antedating 1758 need be 

 considered." 



20. Snellen (P. C. T.). 15 Jan. 1897. 



" Non ; comme c'est Linne qui est I'inventeur du Systeme 

 binominal et que c'est lui qui I'a applique le premier dans sa 10^ 

 ed. du 6". Nat., il ne peut pas etre question d'ouvrages anterieurs." 



21. AURIVILLIUS (C). 



"Vide No. i." [ = Aurivillius 8 — adoption of edn. 10 renders un- 

 necessary. Durrani^
