Codes of nomenclature are primarily concerned with the creation and use of new names and new combinations. The Bacteriological Code (Lapage et al., 1992) is no exception, and there are no mechanisms currently incorporated in the present revision that allow either a taxonomist or other microbiologists to refer to a central register of such important changes in taxonomic opinion, in the same way that new validly published names or combinations are listed in the Notification Lists or in the Validation Lists.The Editorial Board of the International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology (IJSEM) has noted that some important taxonomic opinions (ie the creation of synonyms or the emendation of circumscriptions) are published outside the IJSEM. The wealth of journals in circulation now makes it a difficult task to track all changes in taxonomy and nomenclature, unless there is some form of central registry/index. Over the past 25 years prokaryotic systematics has been well served by the Approved Lists of Bacterial Names, as well as the concept of valid publication of a new name or new combination in the International Journal of Systematic Bacteriology and its successor, the IJSEM. This principle has also led to the creation of websites that provide unique access to not only the validly published names, but also the literature associated with them and the location of type material. In recent years the IJSEM has introduced the concept of a ‘Notification List’, which includes not only reference to new names and new combinations appearing in the IJSEM, but also reference to the creation of synonyms or the emendation of the circumscription of existing taxa. The Editorial Board of the IJSEM (minutes of the meeting May 2004, New Orleans, LA, USA) unanimously agreed that it was desirable to extend this principle further to cover changes in taxonomic opinions previously published outside the IJSEM. This should be effected by the creation of a ‘List of Changes in
