Abstract

I THOUGHT that this pernicious custom had long ago disappeared for ever. Any one who has occasion to refer to the long series of papers on the Nomenclature of the Foraminifera in the Am. Mag. Nat. Hist., 1859–72, will cordially endorse Dr. Rastall (NATURE, March 20, p. 418). References to these in synonymies are made indifferently to the journal and its reprints, and it is never safe to rely upon them.
