Abstract
The Linnaean hierarchy is a system of nested classes whose members are individual organisms. It will be the purpose of this paper to set out the logic of this system in a manner which is faithful to taxonomic theory and practice, which avoids certain paradoxes in previous attempts, and which is in terms that a biologist might reasonably be expected to understand.Keywords
