Abstract
I HAVE been informed that at the Third International Congress for Microbiologists, held in New York City, September 2–9, 1939, it was reported to the Committee on Nomenclature that the name Listerella, which I proposed for a genus of bacteria in 1927, had already been given to a Mycetozoan by Jahn in 1906.
