Rcakcrt described a c? C Dinuia and tliis fomi of the V under the name of C. Semperi, 

 and ina-;mucli as the name of Dimcra has j)recedcnce I propose to retain that of Semperi for 

 this while V form, but for the life of nie, although I have read the description and possess 

 Kcakirt's types, I cannot tell where he described it, probably it is the Proc. Acad, Nat. 

 Sciences of Philadelphia, which work I unfortunately do not possess, and can only have 

 occasional access to by going to Philadelphia, as our town here has no library containing 

 works on the natural sciences, which is one of the many disadvantages incidental to residing 

 in a provincial city, the expense precludes too frequent visits to consult the libraries of Phila- 

 delphia or New York, and the Philadelphia A' Heading Railroad Company would as soon 

 think of running their locomotives Juggernaut style over the body of a naturalist as to be 

 guilty of the folly of giving iiiiu a free pass over their lines, although to give them their 

 due, I believe, as an extraordinary favor, under all kinds of restrictions, they do something 

 of the sort for Clergymen.
