pursue. From the point of view of education a uniform sj's- 
tem of nomenclature was necessary, and in support of his view 
he cited the enormous progress of chemistry due in great meas- 
ure to the adoption of general rules of nomenclature. Prof. 
Zittel was of the opinion that it was very useful to have a 
committee on nomenclature, since the existing committee had 
accomplished such excellent Avork, but that the committee 
should occupy itself with general questions and not discuss 
particular affairs. 
In the end the proposition of Mr. Evans was approved to name 
anew a committee on nomenclature like the one now existing, its 
members to organize in their respective countries national 
committees to study these questions and to communicate with 
each other by correspondence. By an amendment of Prof, 
de Lapparent all geological societies, and all the geological 
institutes and surveys existing were included in the resolution. 
After a short discussion the Council proposed the following 
list of members which should compose the international com- 
mittee of nomenclature and this list was* approved unani- 
mously by the Congress. 
Germany Prof. Zittel.

the Congress had accomplished. Resolutions of thanks were then
