Hello,

I have just received the last issue of Xenophora magazine (AFC publication : <a href="http://www.xenophora.org/" target="_blank"><!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.xenophora.org/">http://www.xenophora.org/</a><!-- m --></a> .
And guess what is inside ? The explanation of thye ii mystery  <img src="images/smiley/lol.gif" alt="" border="0" />

When some dedicate a species to someone (human) he transforms
the name with "us". Then Two cases appears :

<u>The name does not already finish by a "i"</u>
====> Name = <b>cuvier</b> => <i>Conus Cuvierus</i>
Then "us" bcomes "i"================><i>Conus Cuvieri</i>

<u>The name does already finish by a "i"</u>
====> Name =<b> cuvieri </b>=> <i>Conus Cuvierius</i>
Then "ius" bcomes "ii"================><i>Conus Cuvierii</i>

I hope my english is not too bad  

Regards,
DAVID  <span class="petit">--Last edited by David Touitou on 2007-07-15 20:55:18 --</span>
