We express opposition to a proposal of Farmer et al. to conserve the specific epithet tarda over the specific epithet curguillimortifenun in the scientific name Eswardsiella tarda Ewing and McWhorter 1965. Farmer et al. justified their proposal by citing Principle 1 of the International Code of NomncLature of Bacteria and Viruses 1958 (11) in the interest of stability in nomenclature and to avoid confusion in the literature. If one clings to the avoidance of a passing codision, however, changes in classification and protection of priority of names cannot be realized. Paracolobactrum anguillimorti~erum Hoshina 1962, which is the senior synonym of Edwardsiella tarda Ewing and McWhorter 1965, wm validly published based on the Bacteriological Code 1958, although it was not published in the International Bulletin of Bacterial Nomenclature and Taxonomy and no type strain was designated. Therefore, the priority of the specific epithet anguillimOrtiferwn over the epithet tardo in the name Edwardsiella tarda should be protected by Principle 6 and Rule 23 of the Bacteriological Code, 1976 Reuiswn. In 1975 Sakazaki and Tamura (17) pointed out that Edwardsiella tarda Ewing and McWhorter 1965 (5) is a later synonym of Paracolobactnun anguillimortiferum Hoshina 1962 (13) and that the specific epithet anguillimortiferum would have priority over the epithet tarda. They proposed the name Edwardsiella anguillimortifera to replace the name Edwardsiella tarda. However, this was opposed by Farmer et al. (6), who proposed that the specific epithet tarda be conserved over the epithet anguillimortiferum. Farmer et al. emphasized that the name Edwarsielh tarda was published in the International Bulletin of Bacteriological Nomenclature and Taxonomy, whereas the name Paracolobactrum anguillimortiferum was published in the Japanese Bulletin of Scienti.fic Fisheries, which is, they stated, “a journal unlikely to reach working bacteriologists.” They also indicated that Paracolobactrum anguillimortiferum does not appear in the Index Bergeyana (4). It should be mentioned, however, that at that time the Bacteriological Code (11) had not prescribed that new names and combinations be published in the International Bulletin of Bacteriological Nomenclature and Taxonomy. The Japanese Bulletin of Scientific Fisheries, in which a description of Paracolobactrum anguillimurtiferum was published in English, may not reach all medical bacteriologists, but this does not invalidate the publication of Hoahina. The Index Bergeyana omitted not only the name Paracolo bactrm anguillimortiferwn, but also many legitimate names of bacteria, as indicated by Hatt and Zvirbulis (7) and Zvirbulis and Hatt (19, 20). Farmer et al. suggested that, since the name Edwardsiella tarda w&s validly published 10 years ago, it has gained world-wide acceptance by bacteriologists. They also suggested that acceptance of the specific epithet anguillimortifenun would violate the intent of Principle 1 of the International Code of Nomenclature of Bacteria and Viruses 1958 (11) to avoid confusion in the literature. In reply, we cite some examples in recent nomenclature. Specific epithets of Leptospira icterohaemorrhagiae Inada, Ido, Hoki, Kaneko, and It
