Erpetology--On a new salamander and a new Stellio from Kentucky discovered in 1823, by C.S. Rafinesque Manuscript, [1823?].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/54826818

Descriptions of "Salamandra lurida Raf.", vulgar name "puppy slug", and "Stellio dicyanelis Raf.", vulgar name "ground scorpion" or "ground lizard"; these discoveries were eventually published in Rafinesque's Atlantic journal (1832-1833). On the verso are 26 lines of verse, beginning "['Thou', scored out] Hail sister of Religion Charity"; there are several corrections, and the last line is partially trimmed, suggesting that the descriptions were written on the blank side of a discarded draft of the poem.
