(i)   ...No. He use "Jenghizkhan bataar" without its discription.
(ii)  ...No. There are no literature references in Japanese transration of
     his article.
     ( I don't know it was in his original article or not.)
(iii) ...Yes. He proposed "Jenghizkhan bataar" .

"Jenghizkhan bataar" is only Olshevsky's opinion. I couldn't tell enough
about it in my previous mail. I think if he want to use "Jenghizkhan 
bataar" in future, he must rename it with "scientific" procedure, whether
Olshevsky's opinion accept in paleontology or not.

Is there International organization which deal with zoological nomenclature?
He proposed some new dinosaur names. Did you know he had been proposed
his "new" name such a organization or not?
