III.— REFERENCES ARRANGED SYSTEMATICALLY. 
REPTILIA and BATRACHIA. 
E. Haeckel’s volume on the Systematic Phylogeny of Vertebrates con- 
tains lengthy considerations on the characters of Reptiles and 
Batrachians. The systematic portion abounds with new terms, some 
for hypothetical types ; these new names being coined without any 
regard for the commonly-accepted rules, and in violence of the law 
of priority, have no claim to recognition in systematic nomenclature, 
and the Recorder feels justified in omitting them from his report.
