Abstract
THE labours of the committee proposed by Mr. Boulenger at the British Association for remedying the abuses of zoological nomenclature will be enormous, even if restricted to the settlement of common generic names. To hope that they should extend to large numbers of species, or to species of the less prominent groups, is, I fear, impossible unless a more wholesale method of dealing with the names be adopted.
