 while keeping the title as concise as possible. 



" That new species should be properly diagnosed and figured when 

 possible. 



That new names should not be proposed in irrelevant footnotes, or 

 anonymous paragraphs.

 correctly, if possible in accordance with one of the recognized sets of 

 rules of quotations, such as that recently adopted by the French Zoological 

 Society "
