Darwin, who always seems to me, almost instinctively, to take the right view in matters relating to natural history, is ("Life," vol. i. p. 364) dead against the new "practice of naturalists appending for perpetuity the name of the first describer to species." He is equally against the priority craze:— "I cannot yet bring myself to reject very well-known names" (ibid., p. 369).
