Abstract/NotesIt seems late in the day to ask the International Commission to standardize the use of Rhacophyllites in the interpretation commonly accepted for over half a century, but until I discussed this genus last summer with Dr. S. W. Muller, Stanford University, California, in connection with work on Lias ammonites, I was unaware that it offered a nomenclatorial problem or that this was incapable of a simple solution on the basis of the existing rules of nomenclature. A discussion of the difficulties encountered may not be out of place in this series, and I hope to show that this is indeed one of the special cases in which standardization provides the only fair solution.
