 Comments
       
  Comment: Harlan's name is variously dated to 1825 or 1826. In two bound examples of Vol. X (cover date February 1826, composed of no. 1 & no. 2) that were examined there was no conclusive evidence of the date of publication of the two sections. The former contains a letter noted as received on Oct. 15, 1825, and the latter contains a letter dated Jan. 24, 1826. Vol. X, no. 1 was probably published in 1825, but in the absence of clear evidence ITIS follows Frost in using 1826
