One of the basic rules formulated by this commission is the Law of Priority. This has to do with the scientific name each animal and plant is to bear. Suppose an unfamiliar microscopic animal is observed. The scientist draws it, photographs it, perhaps he kills it, and studies it as stained and sectioned material. He then consults the de- scriptive classification organized since 1895 and seeks the proper place to catalog his specimen. If the specimen is not similar to any known organism, the scientist gives it a generic and specific name, writes a description, and publishes his findings. If no other scientist reading his paper has ever come across it or seen a description of it elsewhere, this scientist is thereafter credited with the discovery. He has added a new creature to the list of known 'Kyriccpocla On^chophoTtr "yticny-^dWCi^g leas -me ' 6xvalkin^l€^ ^^ -breathe air- 7" Insect a.
