In pronouncing these long words, heed must be taken of the sec- 
ondary accent also. JE and oe are shortened under rule 18, c, 
whenever e would be; Csecidae (ses^-i-de), CEnothera (en^-o-the-ra) , 
y^lgilops (ej^-i-lops. 
Two classes of scientific terms, represented by Woodivardia and 
Whyteyi respectively, I have already referred to as not coming under 
these rules. The former class consists of modern proper names which 
have been latinized in part only. They have the endings, -onia, 
-ensis, -ia, -ii, etc. , and are accented according to to the general rule ; 
but the unlatinized part retains its own pronunciation(sometimes sligthly 
effected by the change of accent.) 
The earlier rule in latinizing proper names was to give them a 
purely classical form. The result was often to render them nearly or 
quite unrecognizable. The present tendency is to preserve the iden- 
tity of the name. A. S. Miller, in the preface to his American PalcB- 
ozoic Fossils, argues that the rules of the British Association do not go 
far enough in this direction. He defends such forms as Whiteyi on 
the ground that White and Whitey, Case and Casey, Moor and Moore, 
will be confused, unless the -i be added to the name unchanged. In 
such forms as Whiteyi^ Smithi, Blacki^ Blacduei^ the part before the i 
is to be pronounced exactly as if the i were not there.
