The above is Boi.^duval's descripticn as tfanslated in Morris' Synopsis. J have little doubt but that this 

 suecies is identical with sotne of those since rciescribed by later Ameii<-an authors. What a mighty reduction 

 of species there would be if Boi.sduvai's, Belir's, Edward-s' and Reakiit's types were to meet together and un- 

 dergo impartial comparison and examination.
