Discussion on Nomenclature : 



The Chairman called the attention of the Society to some remarks by 

 M. y. R. Bourguignat in a paper upon the genus Connlus, in which that 

 author intimated his intention of adopting recommendations made by the 

 International Zoological Congress to carry tlie starting-point of Zoological 

 nomenclature further back than Linnaeus, which entailed the adoption of the 

 works of Lang, dating 1722. Strong objection was urged against this pro- 

 position, and the Meeting was emphatically of opinion that no alteration of 

 the hitherto generally received practice of adopting the tenth edition (1758) 

 of the 'Systema Naturre' of Linn?eus as the starting-point should be made.
