Abstract
I AM ready to give the Editor of the Zoological Society's Transactions credit for desiring to set a good and not a bad example; but, since a man seldom thinks that which he does to be wrong, the simple assertion of his opinion that it is the former and not the latter is not enough. Whether the papers in those Transactions are antedated by one month (as he admits) or by several months is merely a matter of detail. The practice of antedating is equally faulty in principle. If their editor would add the correct date of publication on the covers of the several parts, as is done with the Proceedings of the Royal and the Journal of the Linnean Society, he might give whatever date he pleases anywhere else as that of his latest revision.
