(Paper presented at the Academy meeting held on 4 
September 1854. The 4-page signature containing this 
presentation was printed sometime before December

The article was reprinted in 1873 (pp. 3-4) 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¬

Editon. PCAS, 2nd ed., 1:[unnumbered p. 1]).)
