Hey Mark! I agree that most of the time priority should rule. However, there are circumstances where exceptions can made. The Code makes provision for...

John I think these actions are a terrible idea. As you know I am a stickler for following the rules about type specimens and original usage as far as the...

Hank: While I hate to hear of the closure, I will have to admit that road definitely needs to be upgraded to make it safer and more passible. Let us know when...

This may have been raised before. But perhaps as new determinations are made as to changes in both Pelham and Lamas, I think most of us would like that this...
Hi Hank, In my opinion, I think the best qualified online resource to consider what you're asking is Butterflies of America. The BOA site already has a...
