The naming of this insect after a military celebrity is a most 

 lamentable piece of sycophancy which cannot be too much 

 deplored. Lieut.-Gen. P. H. Sheridan may have been and 

 doubtless was a good soldier and an efficient officer though 

 being nothing of a politician myself, and consequently not 

 interested in the late war, I am not likely to be much of a 

 judge as regards the question of his military greatness but 

 I think I may safely venture to doubt whether the General 

 knows more of entomological science than does the horse he 

 rides ; and the designating of an insect by his name is under 

 such circumstances an insult instead of an honour an insult 

 to the General and a greater one to science.
