'Towards
Stability in the Names of Animals' - a
History of the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature
1895-1995
The
International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature was
founded on 18 September 1895. In recognition of its Centenary
a history of the development of nomenclature since the 18th
century and of the Commission was published entitled 'Towards
Stability in the Names of Animals - a History of the International
Commission on Zoological Nomenclature 1895-1995' (ISBN
0 85301 005 6). It is 104 pages (250 x 174 mm) with 18 full-page
illustrations, 14 being of eminent zoologists who played
a crucial part in the evolution of the system of animal nomenclature
as universally accepted today. The book contains a list of
all the Commissioners from 1895 to 1995. The main text was
written by R.V. Melville (former Secretary of the Commission)
and completed and updated following his death.
