Abstract

The wording of Rule 15 as originally published in the 1975 and 1990 revisions of the International Code of Nomenclature of Bacteria with regard to the definition of

nomenclatural types

was not clearly expressed and was modified by the Judicial Commission in 2008. However, there is a difference between the wording as proposed and that accepted. On reflection there is justification for re-examining both the proposed and the accepted wording.
