[February 
Due to the present unrest in nomenclature many unfamiliar 
generic and specific names appear in the text. Unfortunately 
some of these changes have been so rapid that the gender of the 
generic names has not even been noticed and we see such bar- 
barisms as Eriosoma lanigera, Eccoptog aster rugulosus , etc. Al- 
though great attention seems to have been given to the use of 
most “up to date” names, the brown-tail moth still appears as 
Euproctis chrysorrhcea, which well illustrates the difficulty ex- 
perienced by all who attempt to keep up with the gyrations of 
the research worker in nomenclature!
