Gmelin's 8y sterna at best is but an indifferent 

 compilation ; in that work it is no unusual occur- 

 rence to find the self-same species described under 

 different names, and such must still continue to be 

 the case, till individuals of various countries, united 

 for a common purpose, undertake impartially to 

 investigate and publish their researches. Let 

 Entomologists be united for such ends, the result 

 must be beneficial to Science. In conclusion we 

 may add — 



" In tenui labor, at tenuis not Gloria."
