Reakert described a 6' C DImera and this form of the V under the name of C. Semperi, 

 and inasmuch as the name of Dimcra has precedence I propose to retain tliat of Semperi for 

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

 Reakirt's types, I cannot tell where he described it, probably it is the Proe. 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 & Reading 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 him 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.
