Abstract
I HAVE read with much interest the discussion in Nature of December 30, p. 812, and wish to add a few suggestions to those there given. In the first place, it is highly desirable to have a single code of nomenclature for plants and animals. The problems are the same in both cases, and the existing codes are so much alike that a very moderate amount of revision would be necessary to secure uniformity. There are two matters which cause confusion, and should be dealt with.
