  description 
  exactly 
  as 
  sent 
  to 
  me 
  by 
  him 
  and 
  putting 
  it 
  in 
  smaller 
  

   type, 
  thus 
  properly 
  establisliing 
  the 
  species 
  as 
  his 
  creation. 
  System- 
  

   atists 
  who 
  beheve 
  genera 
  without 
  vaUd 
  species 
  included 
  are 
  properly 
  

   estabUshed 
  will 
  hold 
  that 
  the 
  genus 
  as 
  well 
  as 
  the 
  species 
  should 
  be 
  

   credited 
  to 
  Scudder. 
  Such, 
  indeed, 
  was 
  my 
  desire 
  and 
  intention, 
  but, 
  

   according 
  to 
  rules 
  of 
  nomenclature 
  believed 
  in 
  and 
  followed 
  by 
  me, 
  

   a 
  genus 
  has 
  to 
  be 
  credited 
  to 
  the 
  person 
  first 
  using 
  it 
  in 
  connection 
  

   with 
  a 
  valid 
  specific 
  name.^ 
  Thus 
  I 
  am 
  compelled 
  to 
  consider 
  myself 
  

   as 
  the 
  author 
  of 
  Timema.
