* The diploma contains the words " accipe ... ex antiqua nostra 

 consuetudine cognomen Forster." It was formerly the custom in the 

 Ccesarea Leopoldino-Carolina Acade7Jiia, that each new member should re- 

 ceive as a * cognomen,' a name celebrated in that branch of science to 

 which he belonged. Thus a physician might be christened Boerhave, or 

 an astronomer, Kepler. My father seems to have been named after the 

 traveler John Reinhold Forster.
