  BuLLEN 
  Newton, 
  F.G.S. 
  , 
  President, 
  in 
  the 
  Chair. 
  

   Mr. 
  C. 
  M. 
  Steenberg, 
  M.Sc, 
  Copenhagen, 
  was 
  elected 
  to 
  membership 
  

   of 
  the 
  Society. 
  

  

  The 
  following 
  letter, 
  addressed 
  to 
  the 
  Secretary, 
  was 
  read 
  : 
  — 
  

   " 
  The 
  members 
  of 
  your 
  Society 
  will 
  no 
  doubt 
  be 
  aware 
  that 
  the 
  subject 
  of 
  

   Zoological 
  Nomenclature 
  is 
  attracting 
  great 
  attention 
  at 
  the 
  present 
  moment. 
  

   In 
  particular, 
  the 
  question 
  as 
  to 
  how 
  far 
  the 
  Law 
  of 
  Priority 
  should 
  be 
  rigidly 
  

   enforced 
  is 
  the 
  theme 
  of 
  animated 
  discussion, 
  and 
  will 
  come 
  before 
  the 
  

   Nomenclature 
  Commission 
  of 
  the 
  International 
  Zoological 
  Congress 
  at 
  its 
  next 
  

   meeting. 
  It 
  is 
  desirable 
  that 
  a 
  limited 
  number 
  of 
  test 
  cases 
  in 
  which 
  great 
  

   inconvenience 
  and 
  confusion 
  are 
  likely 
  to 
  be 
  caused 
  by 
  the 
  enforcement 
  of 
  the 
  

   Law 
  of 
  Priority 
  should 
  be 
  then 
  brought 
  up 
  for 
  discussion. 
  The 
  most 
  urgent 
  

   cases 
  are 
  those 
  in 
  which 
  a 
  well-known 
  and 
  commonly 
  used 
  name 
  would 
  be 
  

   displaced 
  by 
  an 
  equally 
  well-known 
  one 
  which 
  has 
  been 
  currently 
  applied 
  to 
  

   some 
  other 
  species. 
  I 
  should 
  be 
  glad 
  if 
  you 
  would 
  call 
  the 
  attention 
  of 
  your 
  

   members 
  to 
  this 
  important 
  matter, 
  and 
  shall 
  be 
  obliged 
  for 
  any 
  suggestions 
  as 
  to 
  

   names 
  which 
  it 
  is 
  desirable 
  to 
  bring 
  forward 
  for 
  consideration.

  [The 
  Council 
  invites 
  members 
  who 
  are 
  interested 
  in 
  the 
  subject 
  to 
  

   communicate 
  with 
  Dr. 
  Hoyle.] 
  

  

  The 
  Secretary, 
  at 
  the 
  request 
  of 
  Mr. 
  B. 
  B. 
  Woodward, 
  read 
  a 
  letter 
  

   addressed 
  to 
  the 
  latter 
  by 
  Dr. 
  A. 
  C. 
  Johansen, 
  in 
  which 
  he 
  stated 
  that
