Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Code of Nomenclature and Check-List of North American Birds: Being the Report of the Committee of the Union on Classification and Nomenclature
Fortunately for the interests of science, the tendency of natu ralists has latterly been toward substantial agreement upon most of the fundamental principles involved in nomenclature, vari ance of Opinion coming mainly in the application of those prin ciples in minor details. To prepare an acceptable and entirely available code of rules, the compilers of to-day have therefore to do little more than clearly formulate the current usages of the best naturalists, and consistently apply them to any given case.
