Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Reports on the Zoological Collections Made in Torres Straits, 1888 1889
It is not unfair to point out that the disorder which has occurred in this group is also partially due to the fact that many zoologists have not paid due regard to the generally recognised rules of zoological nomenclature, and have not taken the trouble to thrash out the synonymy and some have identified certain forms with pre-existing species in a rather reckless manner.
