Abstract
THE subtitle of this volume describes its scope; it runs: “An alphabetical list of names of genera and subgenera proposed for use in zoology as recorded in the ‘Zoological Record,’ vols. 38–47 inclusive (1901–1910), and the zoology volumes of the ‘International Catalogue of Scientific Literature,’ annual issues 1–10, together with other names not included in previous nomenclators.” The first volume was published in 1902, and the primary object of the present work is to serve as an index to the intervening ten years, but it is also planned so as to be with Scudder's “Nomenclator” a complete register of the names of genera and subgenera proposed for use in zoology. The editor of this volume points out that 140,000 names have been, up to the present time, proposed for the genera and subgenera of zoological taxonomy.
