10. Propositions by L. Rhumbler. 



Cognizance is herewith taken of the propositions by L. Rhumbler 

 as published in Zool. Anz., Bd. XXXVI. Nr. 26, Dec. 20, 1910, look- 

 ing to the adoption of a system of nomenclature wherein various points, 

 such as geographic. distribution and systematic position, may be expres- 

 sed in the name of the organism. 



Example: For "Steganoptycha nananaTr", use u Ylsteganoptycha 

 unana Tr. mü = europäischer Schmetterling aus der "aW-Gruppe

 question, but it may be a new rule brought forward at the International 

 Congress of Boston, the proceedings of which are apparently not yet 

 published." 



"In my opinion a perusal of the 'Code' as it stands now clearly 

 shows that binary and binomial were formerly treated as synonyms, 

 meaning names of animals consisting of two words, i. e. a generic and a 

 specific one," 



"The new view is illegal, or, if legalized by any generally adopted 

 by-law, this by-law should, in my opinion, be altered, and it should be 

 voted — as it used to be the rule — that authors were not to be con-
