The question seems to be sinply this: Is the 
introduction of these six new naines a valuable ac- 
quisition to the science, without being accompa- 
nied with a new discovery ora new thought of any 
kind ; excepting that of a new combination of un- 
cooth sounds ? Nature decides in favor of some 
subdivisions of the Linnean genera ; but vanity 
makes a score of new genera where nature and 
expediency hesitatingly decide in favor of one.
