Abstract
IT is much to be regretted that the praiseworthy agitation of this subject, opened by Mr. Minchin (NATURE, vol. xlvi. p. 367), has not been continued. There cannot be the slightest doubt of the desirability of such a reform. Possibly the reason why the letters of Mr. Minchin and Mr. Bathers (ib. p. 416) have not aroused more interest lies in the fact that they both wrote as recorders. They showed the absurd burdens that the actual system imposes upon the recorders; but they left somewhat in the background the advantages which the great world of zoologists could receive.
