  Deshayes 
  has 
  partly, 
  and 
  

   Dr. 
  Jay 
  has 
  wholly, 
  dropped 
  its 
  absurdity. 
  It 
  does 
  not, 
  how- 
  

   ever, 
  appear 
  obvious, 
  whether 
  Kiener 
  intended 
  to 
  name 
  two 
  

   habitats, 
  or 
  to 
  say 
  that 
  Acapulco 
  is 
  in 
  Peru
