They concluded: “The phylogenetic rank of subspecies is generally applied to a part of a species showing geographical variations which intergrade with a subspecies occupying different though usually adjacent and overlapping parts of the general range of the species.” They, however, continued to use the subspecies rank as a convention for pointing out observed variability.
