Abstract
ALL branches of science in the early stages of their development suffer from the want of a uniform nomenclature. But it is in the biological sciences, especially zoology and botany, that the greatest confusion has prevailed, more particularly in the naming of the multitudinous forms of animal and plant life. Thanks, however, to the codes of rules drawn up at various conferences, and more or less universally accepted, the systematic nomenclature of zoology and botany has become much more uniform and simple, while these branches both possess a recognised terminology for descriptive purposes.
