* Suudevall's paper was read before the Stockholm Academy on May 13th, 

 1846, and presumably published in the latter half of May or in June (the 

 " Ofversigt " appears to have been issued regularly for every month in which 

 the Academy held a meeting). Hallowell's description of Pt. haldcmani was 

 passed by the Publication Committee on May 26th, 1846, and printed in the 

 Mav-Jiine issue of the Proceedings of the Philadelphia Academy, which 

 cannot have come out before, in the earliest, in July, since it contains a report 

 of a meeting held on June 30th. The balance of evidence would seem, there- 

 fore, to be in favour of the date priority of Pt. wahlbergi.
