Reading edition
It may be observed that I have here broken through the great law of priority; for it appears to me too grossly incorrect to retain the specific name either of major or minus in a genus including a single species. Lamarck himself seems to have been of this opinion, by giving, in 1818, the new specific name of balænarum; but Shaw’s name of trachealis has the clear right to priority, if major or minus be rejected.
