so high an authority, and so careful a monograph, I have 
practically no choice left but to accept the conclusion at 
which he has arrived, and to revert to my own opinion 
as originally expressed. Without discussing their dis- 
tinctive features afresh, I may add that, since both forms 
(whether truly specific or not) do undoubtedly occur both

My attention having been drawn by T. 8. Leacock, 
Hsq., during our late sojourn at Madeira, to the fact that 
an Atlantis has long been known in the vineyards, in
