Abstract:
This work originated out of personal need to see how and where a certain generic name had been used, or whether one coined for a special occassion had already been employed. The author dissected a copy of Marschall's Nomenclator to make a single alphabet from the original twenty-one lists, and added to the accumulation yearly from the names found in the Zoological Record. While not the final result, the cobbled work evolved with additional effort.
