NOMINATIONS FOR 1953 OFFICERS
Nominations for offices to be filled at the end of 1952, but not announced in the last issue of The Lepidopterists' News, are as follows:
Secretary—Frederick H. Rindge Treasurer—SIDNEY A. HESSEL.
SEASON SUMMARY FOR 1952
The summary of field conditions for Lepidoptera during the 1952 season (in North America) will be published during the spring of 1953, instead of being the concluding issue of the current volume of The Lepidopterists' News. The deadline for submission of individual reports to Area summarizers will be shortly after New Years, but it is urged that these reports be sent to the Area summarizers as soon after the end of the local collecting season as possible. Detailed instructions for the 1952 Summary will appear in the next issue of the News. The Area summarizers will probably be the same as for the 1951 Summary.
PROPOSALS CONCERNING CODE OF ZOOLOGICAL NOMENCLATURE
Notice has been received from Capt. FRANCIS HEMMING, Secretary to the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature, that a number of problems of great importance to zoological taxonomists involving the text of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature will be brought forward for decision at the approaching International Congress of Zoology to be held in Copenhagen, Denmark, in 1953. These are the following:
1. Emendation of zoological names.
2. Names of families and lower suprageneric categories.
3. Regulating names of orders and higher categories.
4. Type species of genera published in synonymy.
5. Trivial names first published as substitutes for previous names.
6. Neotypes: whether to be officially recognized and how regulated.
7. Means for securing stability in nomenclature.
Volume 7 of the Bulletin of Zoological Nomenclature is being devoted to these matters. Systematists especially interested in any of these questions should send their views immediately to the Secretary (28 Park Village East, Regent's Park, London, N. W. 1, England).
The usual list of ADDITIONS TO THE LIST OF MEMBERS will be omitted from this issue because the 1952 List will be published soon.
