COMMENTS ON TWO NAMES IN AN EARLY UTAH FLORA James L. Reveal' Abstract.— Two new varieties described by Durand in 1859 from the Great Salt Lake area of northern Utah are discussed. One. Erysimum asperum var. purshii. is the oldest available name for the western United States variant of the species, while the second name, Acerates decurnbens var. erecta, is a synonym of Asclepias asperula. Neither name has been included in botanical reference works nor in monographic studies. One new combination, Erysimum, asperum var. amoenum, is proposed for the orange-flowered phase of the species found in southern Colorado and Utah. In 1859, Elias Durand of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia published an article entitled "A sketch of the botany of the basin of the Great Salt Lake of Utah," in which he summarized the flora based on collections made by John C.

    MARTIN'S BENCH AND BAR OF PHILADELPHIA Together with other Lists of persons appointed to Administer the Laws in the City and County of Philadelphia, and the Province and Commonwealth of Pennsylvania BY , JOHN HILL MARTIN OF THE PHILADELPHIA BAR OF C PHILADELPHIA KKKS WELSH & CO., PUBLISHERS No. 19 South Ninth Street 1883 Entered according to the Act of Congress, On the 12th day of March, in the year 1883, BY JOHN HILL MARTIN, In the Office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington, D. C. W. H. PILE, PRINTER, No. 422 Walnut Street, Philadelphia. Stack Annex 5 PREFACE. IT has been no part of my intention in compiling these lists entitled "The Bench and Bar of Philadelphia," to give a history of the organization of the Courts, but merely names of Judges, with dates of their commissions; Lawyers and dates of their ad- mission, and lists of other persons connected with the administra- tion of the Laws in this City and County, and in the Province and Commonwealth. Some necessary information and notes have been added to a few of the lists. And in addition it may not be out of place here to state that Courts of Justice, in what is now the Com- monwealth of Pennsylvania, were first established by the Swedes, in 1642, at New Gottenburg, nowTinicum, by Governor John Printz, who was instructed to decide all controversies according to the laws, customs and usages of Sweden. What Courts he established and what the modes of procedure therein, can only be conjectur- ed by what subsequently occurred, and by the record of Upland Court.

ALBERT DAVIES Professor of Biology, University of Louisville PART I. A BIOCRArmCAL SKETCH OF DR. SHORT PART II. MATERIALS RELATING TO DR. SHORT: (a) In The Filson Club, (b) In the University of Louisville, (c) Data pertaining to letters he received, (d) His published writings. • PART I. A BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF DR. SHORT Read before The Filson Club, June 7, 1943 Dr. Charles Wilkins Short, eminent Kentucky botanist, phy- sician, and teacher, the third son of Peyton and Mary (Maria) Symmes Short, was born at "Greenfield," Woedford County, Kentucky, October 6, 1794. "Greenfield," just south of Ver- sailles, was the pioneer residence of his parents. It contained several iJaousand acres of gently rolling, fertile, inner Blue Grass land on the North Fork of Clear Creek.' The pattern which carried Charles Wilkins Short to distinc- tion and carved his name upon the tablets of time is easily traceable to several fundamental factors: his inheritance, the time in which he lived, the place, and the influence of prominent relatives.. His inheritance was that of Colonial leaders: soldiers, states- men, colonizers, adventurers, merchants, and well-to-do plant- 132 The Filson Club History Quarterly [Vol. 19 ers. Through his veins surged the blood of the Shorts, the Skipwiths, and the Symmes. Peyton Short, the father of Charles, was the son of a well-to-do Virginia planter, William Sh,ort, and his wife, Elizabeth Skipwith, daughter of Sir Wil- liam Skipwith, Baronet; Peyton was the brother of William Short of Virginia and Philadelphia.2 Both Peyton and William enjoyed the free-lance life which was the custom of sons of early Virginia planters, and each received an education equal to the best of the time; William graduated from the College of William and Mary in 1779, and Peyton one year later.

  • Biblioqraphy & Natural History
    BIBLIOQRAPHY & NATURAL HISTORY Essays presented at a Conference convened in June 1964 by Thomas R. Buckman Lawrence, Kansas 1966 University of Kansas Libraries University of Kansas Publications Library Series, 27 Copyright 1966 by the University of Kansas Libraries Library of Congress Catalog Card number: 66-64215 Printed in Lawrence, Kansas, U.S.A., by the University of Kansas Printing Service. Introduction The purpose of this group of essays and formal papers is to focus attention on some aspects of bibliography in the service of natural history, and possibly to stimulate further studies which may be of mutual usefulness to biologists and historians of science, and also to librarians and museum curators. Bibli• ography is interpreted rather broadly to include botanical illustration. Further, the intent and style of the contributions reflects the occasion—a meeting of bookmen, scientists and scholars assembled not only to discuss specific examples of the uses of books and manuscripts in the natural sciences, but also to consider some other related matters in a spirit of wit and congeniality. Thus we hope in this volume, as in the conference itself, both to inform and to please. When Edwin Wolf, 2nd, Librarian of the Library Company of Phila• delphia, and then Chairman of the Rare Books Section of the Association of College and Research Libraries, asked me to plan the Section's program for its session in Lawrence, June 25-27, 1964, we agreed immediately on a theme. With few exceptions, we noted, the bibliography of natural history has received little attention in this country, and yet it is indispensable to many biologists and to historians of the natural sciences.

  • An Historical Account of the Old State House of Pennsylvania Now
    Independence Hall, 1876. FRONT VIEW. AN HISTORICAL ACCOUNT UK THE OLD STATE HOUSE OF PENNSYLVANIA NOW KNOWN AS THE HALL OF INDEPENDENCE « BY / FRANK M ETTING WITH NUMEROUS ILLUSTRATIONS BOSTON JAMES R. OSGOOD AND COMPANY 1876 Copyright, 1874, By FRANK M ETTING KIVERSIDE, CAMBRIDGE: •EREOTYPED AND PRINTED BY H. O. HOUGHTON AND COMPANY. PREFACE In the work that I had " found for my hand to do," it became necessary to examine carefully into the details of the building of the State House of Pennsylvania ; much that surprised me came to light not only in the circumstances of its erection but in its subsequent C history. Instead of Dr. Kearsley, to whom the credit had been as- cribed, I discovered that its Architect and actual Builder was one of the greatest men ever fostered by Pennsylvania ; and that every important movement, from the very inception of the efforts of the colonists to assert their constitutional liberty, first assumed shape either within this building or under the shadow of its walls. A friendly suggestion thrown out induced me to extend still further my investigations, with a view of preserving the information in print in some accessible form. This desire was enhanced by the hope that the general public would ultimately share in the interest which every brick of this old build- ing possesses for me, and thus be inclined to lend each his individual aid towards its preservation, and to insure its proper custodianship for all time. The desultory way in which, from causes unnecessary to be detailed, my memoranda have been thrown together, must leave its impress, and I cannot expect to be exempt from inaccuracies ; but having done my best without fee or reward, present or prospective, I have no apologies to make to the public for claiming their notice.
