The name Miconia densiflora Cogn. (1886) is a later homonym of Miconia densiflora (Gardner) Naudin (1851), but since we propose it as a taxonomic synonym of Miconia caudata (Bonpl.) DC. (1828), we do not provide a new name. The name Miconia longicuspisHerzog (1909) is a later homonym of Miconia longicuspis Cogn. (1891) and we here propose its replacement by Miconia longicuspidata S.S. Renner & ...

Koch advocated tuberculin especially in afebrile and incipient cases, and there is no do...

Cantor’s proof of this result [2, §2] makes use of nested intervals, but today a proof based on another ingenious idea of Cantor is more popular, namely the diagonal method, which he introduced in 1891 to prove the uncountability of 2 [3]. However, Cantor himself did not employ diagonalization directly in the proof of uncountability of R, but gave a rather intricate derivation of ∣ ∣2 ∣ ∣ = |R|...
