simple trinomials for varieties of animals, and pointed out that, 
besides geographical races, there were several other kinds of 
variation which might be desiguated by prefixing letters to the third 
name. With regard to ambiguous names, of which Mr. Sclater 
gave Lepus timidus as an example, he was of opinion that Linnzus 
meant to include both the Mountain Hare of Norway and the 
Common Hare under this name, and he thought that Lepus timidus 
could be retained for the latter, without causing confusion. 
Dr. H. O. Forzzs thought that if objection were taken to tauto- 
nyms—which were but the logical result of the law of priority— 
the generic and not the specific name ought to be changed. ‘The 
generic portion of a name was liable to change at any time with 
the increase of our knowledge, and it was evident that, if it became 
necessary to place the species in some other genus, the law ot 
priority would demand the replacement of that name as its specific 
designation. The result of this would be that, by change in the 
specific part of a tautonym, there would be a constant liability to 
change in both parts of the appellation of a species. 
Mr. W. F. Krrsy was of opinion that botanical names should not 
knowingly be used again in Zoology, and remarked that the German 
Zoologists were not practically unanimous on this question. He 
was inclined to think that the 10th edition of the ‘ Systema Nature ’ 
was the most logical one to follow. He stated that when preparing 
his ‘Synonymic Catalogue of Diurnal Lepidoptera,’ the idea had 
occurred to him of making Doubleday and Westwood’s ‘ Genera’ 
his starting-point for nomenclature, but he had found this im- 
practicable, and was consequently obliged to revert to the strict 
law of priority.
