Abstract
IN accordance with the rules of the International Zoological Congress, the attention of the zoological profession is invited to the fact that Dr. L. O. Howard, W. Dwight Pierce, and twenty-one other professional zoologists have requested the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature to exercise its plenary power in the case of the Linnaean genus Musca, 1758, and, under suspension of the rules, to declare M. domestica as type of this genus; also, under suspension of the rules, to validate Calliphora, Desvoidy, 1830, with C. vomitoria as type.
