I conclude now 
A * he t erophylla Lam*, which name I choose in preference 
to the simultaneous A.ph i lippenais Lam* Both these names

are the earliest synonyms of the Jack which were not based 
on A* i m tegrifolia and H«Integra * i*e* were not superfluous* 
The dhempedak becomes IT A* Integra (Thunb*) Merrill non sensu

A*.taca Lam* its synonyms (not of the Jack)* 
As regards P.Chamoeden Lour., I was very interested 
to hear that there was no specimen at the B*M* With what 
stumbling blocks Merrill has strewn his vagaries^ What is that 
about a mill-stone? Hush! I hear the waters about my own head* 
P»Champeaen , of course, is a species from Cochinchina without 
any connection with the Chempedak, except that of 
misidentlfication, as one can see from Loureiro's 
description* If, moreover, one clings to A*Integra for the 
Jack then the Chempedak is unnamed and I shall call it

oannot even clutch at Merrill's boater. 
I am preparing a treatise upon this 1 discovery”• 
There are six and twenty differences between the Cherapedak 
and Jack*, four of which have been described. I have 
stretched tentacles even to Coromandel and gathered 
Jacks /nto my bosom. Not the sandals of Mercury or the 
sparks of Vulcan, but the sweat of Atlas shall be our 
emblem. Curse me, though I cannot find the subterranean 
A 
Jack: I followed WAb.s in Kelantan and thought of 
Proserpine; but there are things infernal.
