(5) It appears to me that the muddle in nomenclature is largely due 
to the slipshod revisions of the last 20 or 30 years, and the sooner the 
Law of Priority is strictly applied, the sooner the trouble will cease. 
I even strongly advocate the ‘first species’ principle in establishing 
generic types. Clause B would at once bring in the personal equation

Code. 
(9) It LA] is the only method that offers a chance of a uniformity of 
opinion. The second would lead to endless discussions and contro- 
versies.

law of priority in all cases and express the desire that the 
most important and generally used names should be protected 
against any change on nomenclatural grounds.
