9. The use of the name of a composite ge- 

 nusfor a component part requiring a name. — 

 The decision as to whether the name of a composite genus, when 

 made up wholly of older genera, is tenable for a component part 

 requiring a name, depends upon a variety of circumstances. 

 There are circumstances under which such name may be used, 

 others under which it may not be used. (Art. 30.) 



Vote: Affirmative 13; negative o; not voting 2. 



10. Designation of genotypes for genera 

 published with identical limits. — If two genera 

 with the same limits are formed independently by dif ferent authors, 

 without designation of genotypes, any subsequent author may 

 designate the genotypes (Art. 30 g), and if the types designated 

 are not specifically identical, the two generic names may (other 

 things being equal) be used for restricted genera containing the 

 types in question. (Art. 25.) 



Vote: Affirmative 9; negative 4; not voting 2. 



11. The designation of genotypes by La- 

 t r e i 1 1 e , 1810. — The 'Table des genres avec Tindication de 

 l'espece qui leur sert de type", in Latreille's (1810) "Con- 

 siderations generales", should be accepted as designation of types 

 of the genera in question (Art. 30). 



Vote: Affirmative 12; negative 1; not voting 2. 



12. Stephanoceros fimbriatus (Goldfuss, 1820) v s. Ste- 

 phanoceros eichhornii Ehrenberg, 1832. — The generic name Ste- 

 phanoceros, 1832, is to be used in preference to Coronella, 1820 

 (pre-occupied, 1768) ; the specific name fimbriatus, 1820, ta.kes 

 precedence over eichhornii, 1832, which is admittedly (Ehren- 

 b e r g , 1832 b, 125, and 1838 a, 400 — 401) fimbriatus, 1820, re- 

 named. Ehrenberg was right in rejecting Coronella, 1820, 

 but in error in rejecting fimbriatus, 1820; no reason is apparent 

 for perpetuating his error. 



Vote: Affirmative 14; negative o; not voting 1. 



13. The specific name of the Sand Crab. — 

 Catesby's (1743)' pre-Linnaean name arenarius is not avai- 

 lable under the Code, although "reprinted" in 1771; quadratus 

 1793 is stated to be preoccupied; albicans 1802 being the next 

 specific name in the list becomes valid, under the premises sub- 

 mitted. 



Vote: Affirmative 12; negative o; not voting 3. 



14. The type species of Etheostoma Rafinesque, 1819.
