(The editors say that the paper is published in abstract, as it had been impossible to prepare the drawings for its ill.u.s.trations in time.--It is a most pitiful and unscientific proceeding to publish such preliminary abstracts containing insufficiently founded names and complete ”nomina nuda” without publis.h.i.+ng a fuller account; such, as far as I know, has never appeared.)
