DCP-LETT-1215

From:
Charles Robert Darwin
To:
Hugh Edwin Strickland
Date:
29 Jan [1849]
Source of text:
Museum of Zoology Archives, University of Cambridge (Strickland Papers)
Summary:

Has altered and added to HES’s list [compiled for Bibliographia zoologiæ et geologiæ, edited by Louis Agassiz and enlarged by HES, (1848–54)].

On zoological nomenclature CD cites a case in which he believes more harm than good would be done by following the rule of priority. Thinks the rule of the first describer’s name being attached in perpetuity to a species has been the greatest curse to natural history. Every genus of cirripedes has a half-dozen names and not one careful description.

Sends a paper he once wrote [missing] on the subject [of zoological nomenclature].
