ber 1854. The 4-page signature ( pp. 7-10, which in¬ 
cludes this presentation) was printed sometime before 
December 1854 although the text appeared first in The 
Pacific, a newspaper published in San Francisco, short¬ 
ly after the meeting (22 September 1854). The newspa¬ 
per columns were then rearranged and the 4-page signa¬ 
ture, in Proceedings style, was probably issued just a 
few days following the meeting at which the paper was 
presented. 
The article was reprinted in 1873 (pp. 7-8) in what has 
become known as the “Second edition, ” in which the 
original text was reset so that there is some discrepancy 
in pagination with the original publication (see com¬ 
ments by R.E.C Steams, 1873, Prefatory Note to This 
Editon. PCAS, 2nd ed., 1:[unnumbered p. 1]).)
