Dr. Sclater informs us that the diseoverer of this species spelt his name
“ Dickinson ” not “ Dickerson,” and the species should stand as
Cerchneis dickinsoni. We forget who it was that informed us that
our orthography was right, but we know that we had good reason
for altering the name at the time.
