United States Supreme Court
267 U.S. 540
Yeiser v. Dysart
Argued: Oct. 24, 1924. --- Decided: April 13, 1925
Upon a report of the respondents, a committee of members of the bar, the plaintiff in error was ordered to be suspended from the right to practice as attorney unless he should refund to a client a fee received by him of $620 and interest within a time fixed. The ground of the order was that by section 3031, Comp. St. 1922, only such sum could be demanded for services in bringing a suit under the Workmen's Compensation Act of the State as the Court should allow, and that a contract for other and further pay was void. The Supreme Court of the State while crediting the plaintiff in error with an honest belief that the statute had a narrower meaning, made the order complained of and the case is brought here on a contention that the statute as construed unreasonably restricts the liberty of contract and contravenes the Fourteenth Amendment by depriving the plaintiff in error of his liberty and property without due process of law.
The plaintiff in error recognizes that this Court is bound by the construction given to the State law by the State Court, yet wastes a good deal of argument in the effort to prove the construction wrong. When the constitutional question is reached late cases are relied upon for the general proposition that unreasonable interference with freedom of contract cannot be sustained. Adkins v. Children's Hospital, 261 U.S. 525, 43 S.C.t. 394, 67 L. Ed. 785, 24 A. L. R. 1238; Charles Wolff Packing Co. v. Court of Industrial Relations, 262 U.S. 522, 43 S.C.t. 630, 67 L. Ed. 1103. But the question is specific, whether we can pronounce this law unreasonable, against the opinion of the Legislature and Supreme Court of the State. The Court adverts to the fact that a large proportion of those who come under the statute have to look to it in case of injury and need to be protected against improvident contracts, in the interest not only of themselves and their families but of the public. A somewhat similar principle has been sanctioned by this Court. Calhoun v. Massie, 253 U.S. 170, 40 S.C.t. 474, 64 L. Ed. 843. When we add the considerations that an attorney practices under a license from the State and that the subject-matter is a right created by statute it is obvious that the State may attach such conditions to the license in respect of such matters as it believes to be necessary in order to make it a public good. Of course a reasonable time from the issue of the mandate of this Court will be allowed for the plaintiff in error to comply with the judgment affirmed.
Judgment affirmed.

BYSSOARCA Zebra.
BYSSOARCA Zebra.
Zebra Ark-shell.
Genus. Arca. Lin. Lam. Sub-genus. Byssoarca. Nob.
Sub-Generic Character.
Animal fixed by byssiform filaments to other bodies. Shell transverse; umbones remote; valves gaping in the middle of the ventral margin.
Specific Character.
Margins angulated; valves marked with simple uniform and regular grooves, radiating from the umbones: shell transversely and obliquely striped with brown.
It is somewhat surprising that the sedentary type of the genus Arca should have been so long uncharacterized in our Conchological Systems; seeing that the other four types, viz. Arca, Pectunculus, Cucullœa, and Nucula, were defined many years ago by the celebrated Lamarck. We have consequently supplied this omission; and at the same time have selected a species hitherto, we believe, confounded with the B. Noæ; from which it differs in sculpture, colour, and in the umbones being less remote from each other.
The Animals of these shells affix themselves to other bodies by a particular muscle, which is protruded through the gaping part of the valves; they also adhere, when young, by the byssiform epidermes which covers the exterior: a specimen now before us, which we procured in the Bay of Naples, perfectly exemplifies this singular property. The present species is not uncommon in the West Indies, and has been sent to us from Jamaica. Like all others of this particular type it is almost constantly covered by coralline substances.

Finned Murex.
Family Buccinidæ. Sub-fam. Muricinæ. Sw. Genus Murex. Lam. Sub-genus Pteronotus. Sw.
Sub-Generic Character.
See Pl. 100.
Specific Character.
Shell snowy white, with three twisted varices, which are surmounted by a thin, dilated fringe, having the margins undulated; channel curved; outer lip crenate.
Murex pinnatus. Swains. Bligh. Cat. App. p. 17.
Martini. Conch. 3 pl. III. fig. 1036-1037. (bad.)
This highly elegant and delicate species was first described by us in the Catalogue of the Bligh Collection, at the sale of which a specimen produced five pounds. Latterly, however, the species has become more frequent: the figures are taken from a fine individual in our Museum, procured from China. The pure white of the surface is relieved by a slight iredescent or pearly gloss, similar to that on the scales of many fish: but which is probably concealed, in a state of nature, by a thick and soft epidermis, similar to that of Triton corrugatum, Lam.
The structure of this sub-genus is further remarkable for the prolongation of the basal end of the principal varex on the body whorl, which, in nearly all the species, is so prominent, as to give the shell an appearance of having two channels. It is remarkable that this horn-like process occurs in that part of the shell which is immediately above the head of the animal: so that even in this genus of Mollusca we see a manifestation of that principle of the natural system, by which one of the aberrant types of nearly all animals have crests, horns, or similar protuberances on or near the head.

LEPTONYX macropus. Great footed Babbler.
LEPTONYX macropus
Great-footed Babbler.
Family Merulidæ. Sub-family Crateropodinæ. Genus Malacocircus, Sw. Sub-genus Leptonix. (The Rasorial type.) Nob.
Sub-generic Character.
Feet of extraordinary size and thickness, all the anterior toes of nearly equal length; the claws long, slender, and but slightly curved. Tail slightly rounded, of fourteen feathers. Wings very short.
Specific Character.
Above brown beneath whiteish, with transverse undulated lines; breast and rump, rufous brown; chin, stripe above and beneath the eye, whiteish.
For the use of this new and singularly formed bird, we are indebted to Professor Hooker, who, with his usual liberality, has recently sent for our inspection, a valuable box of Chilian birds, most of which are undescribed. They form the foundation of his son's, Mr William Hooker's collection, who has already commenced with much zeal the study of this interesting science.
All the rasorial characters are strikingly displayed in this extraordinary type; which exhibits the greatest developement of the foot of any insessorial bird yet discovered. It no doubt lives entirely upon the ground; for the feet are formed precisely on the same model as those of Menura and Orthonyx, both of which are the rasorial types of their respective circles, and are consequently representatives of Leptonyx: the same analogy explains its resemblance to a partridge, and more distantly to the sub-genus Erythaca Sw. by its rufous breast.
The Indian bird erroneously called Pitta thoracica by M. Temminck, follows this in close affinity, and is either the Grallatorial type, or the immediate point of connection between Malacocircus Sw. and Timalia Horsf.
Total length 9 inches; bill from the gape 1$^1$⁄$_{10}$; wings 4; tail 3; tarsus 1¾; hind toe and claw 1½.

THOAS Lysithous.
THOAS Lysithous,
Lysithous Butterfly.
Sub-fam. Papilionæ. Genus, Papilio. Sw. Sub-genus Thoas. Nob.
Sub-Generic Character.
Posterior wings terminating in spatulate or obtuse tails; the margins deeply scoloped; Larva smooth; Pupa braced, with the head directed upwards.
Typical Sections.
| 1. Wings with macular yellow bands. | Pap. Thoas. Auct. |
| 2. Wings with entire white bands, the posterior spotted with crimson. | Agavius. |

| 4. Tails obsolete. | Evander. |
| 5. Tails short, acute. | Androgeus. |
Specific Character.
Wings uniform black; anterior with a white band; posterior dentated and tailed, margined by red lunules; the disk white, bordered behind by 4-5 red spots.
Papilio Lisithous. Ency. Meth. 1. p. 73, no. 136.
We discovered this imposing species in the interior of Brazil, in 1814, long before it was made known in France by the specific name we have adopted. It is confined to the southern provinces; for we never met with it north of the Rio St. Francesco. Although greatly resembling Thoas Agavus and Harrisianus, (Z. Ill. 1 Series, pl. 109) it is at once distinguished by the longer and more acute dentations of the inferior wings. The under side shews no material difference from the upper. To the second type of this subgenus belongs also Ascarius L. Polybius Sw. (Z. I. 1 Series, pl. 137), and Tros. Fab. while Dardanus F. probably connects this American group with the third or Paris type, whose geographic range is confined to Asia.
In the fourth form (Evander), representing the Heliconian type, the tails are obsolete, but they begin to appear again in the fifth, and thus complete the circle of the sub-genus Thoas. By studying this natural series, the Entomologist will discover a most beautiful set of analogies between the genera Papilio and Amphrisius.

HELEONA Fenestrata.
HELEONA fenestrata,
Australian Burnet.
Tribe Sphingides. Family Anthoceridæ. Sw. (Zyganidæ Auct.) Genus ——?
Sub-generic Characters.
Anterior Wings papilioniform, i. e. the exterior margin as long, or longer, than that of the posterior; inferior wings lengthened perpendicularly, but short and rounded; Antennæ pectinate in both sexes.
Type Phalæna militaris. Lin. Don. Ins. of China. pl. 43.
Specific Character.
Wings hyaline, clouded with irregular waved bars of blue; body, thorax, and macular band round the margin of the inferior wings, orange.
The diurnal or Heliconean Hawk-mouths, form one of the most natural and remarkable groups among Lepidopterous insects. They fly during the heat of the day; and, (as representing in their own family the tribe of Phalænides) they have much of the general appearances of moths. In their slow flight, long transparent wings, and proneness to imitate death on being handled, they afford a most beautiful analogy to the Heliconian Butterflys. Both have their chief metropolis in equinoctial America, and both find their prototypes in the lovely family of Erycinidæ. It is really surprizing that searchers after the natural system, should have overlooked such a group.
Among the comparatively few genera of this division, found in India and the adjacent islands, is that now first defined: and we illustrate it by a new and very rare species, even in its own country. It was twice seen by Mr. Cunningham, on the North West Coast of Australia; once in shady woods descending to the shores of York Island, and again in nutmeg woods adjoining Brunswick Bay.
The form of the wings, which strongly resemble those of the sub-family Papilionæ will immediately distinguish this from all the American genera. The plant, Pattersonia glauca, is of a sub-genus also peculiar to New Holland.

ACHATINELLA. Pl. 3. 1. rosea. 2. pulcherrima.
ACHATINELLA rosea,
Rosey, reversed Achatinella.
Sub-Generic Character.
See pl. 99 and 108.
Specific (?) Character.
Shell reversed, ovate-oblong, sub-ventricose, pale rose colour, with obsolete white bands.
Ach. bulimoïdes (var. rosea) Swains. in Brand's Journal Cap. 1828, p. 85.
The figures on this plate complete the illustration of our monograph of this pretty and interesting group of shells. At present, we feel undecided whether this is a species, or a variety of A. bulimoïdes, from which it differs in being reversed, in having the marginal groove very distinct, instead of scarcely perceptible, and in colour. We possess only two specimens which came, with all the others, from the Pacific Islands.
ACHATINELLA pulcherrima.
Fig. 2.
Shell ovate-oblong, sub-cylindrical, white or yellow, with broad bands of chesnut; margin of the lip, brown.
Ach. pulcherrima. Sw. ut. sup. p. 86.
This species is the most lengthened in form, and the most beautiful in colour of all those we have yet seen: some individuals, however, are more ventricose than others and the colours are no less variable. The ground colour is usually of a rich and deep chesnut, with from one to three bands of orange yellow, fulvous, or white; we have figured a further variety of a rich golden yellow with a chesnut line only at its suture: but in all these the marginal groove is very close and distinct.

Tribe, Sphingides. Family, Anthoceridæ. Sw. Genus ——? Sub-genus.
Sub-Generic Character.
Anterior wings with the outer or exterior margin much shorter than the posterior; inferior wings lengthened horizontally, but short and rounded. Antennæ slightly pectinated in one sex only: palpi pointing vertically. Inhabits Tropical America only. Nob.
Specific Character.
Large: anterior wings black, with one basal, and two transverse, opaque, deep yellow bands; posterior yellow, with a broad black border; margins of both wings dotted with white.
P. Tiresia. Cramer. Pl. 85. f. B.
We now, for the first time, detach from the moth-like, or diurnal Sphinxes, all those large and imposing species which are found in Tropical America; and by comparing their characters with those of the Oriental group Helonia, it will be seen how strikingly they differ. During our researches in Brazil, the chief metropolis of this group, great attention was paid to these insects, of which we have a most extensive series. They fly slowly and heavily during the middle of the day, and on the least touch counterfeit death. Most of the species, when handled, discharge from their body a brown liquor, like their prototypes the Heliconidæ.
ANTHOMYZA heliconides,
Heliconian Burnet.
Anterior wings black, with one basal and two transverse hyaline yellowish white bands: posterior yellowish white, with a broad black border, margins of both wings dotted with white.
If we were not in possession of both sexes of the foregoing species, we should have suspected that this was a mere sexual difference; but the spots are transparent. The remarkable resemblance between this and some of the Heliconian butterflies, particularly Linus and Psidii, (Cr. pl. 257.) is truly astonishing. Nature could not have stamped their analogy stronger.

General structure of Prinea, but the bill shorter, the plumage more compact, and the outer toe not connected to the middle as far as the first joint.
Specific Character.
Olive green, beneath yellowish white; breast with a black collar; three lateral tail-feathers partly white: front black.
Le Plastron Noir. Le Vaill. Ois. d'Af. 3 pl. 123. f. 1. male. 2. fem. Motacilla thoracica. Nat. Miss. 22. pl. 969.
This is one of the pretty warblers of Southern Africa, discovered by Le Vaillant: it is very common and widely distributed in the interior, but rare near the Cape. Le Vaillant mentions having found a young bird of the Criard Cuckoo, in the pigmy nest of this little species, which had already grown to the size of a thrush: it not only filled the nest, but actually enlarged and destroyed its original shape. Yet still did the foster parents, by a most extraordinary instinct, go on feeding this overgrown parasite, although it was even then more than double the size of themselves. Our figure is of the natural size of the male; the female is without the black collar. Specimens are in Mr. Burchell's Museum and in our own.
That this bird is of a tenuirostral type, is almost certain; seeing that it is an obvious representation of Motacilla, Pachycephala, Tamatia, Trichas, Charadrius, and many other collared groups: but whether it forms part of the genus Prinea, or represents the tenuirostral genus between that and Culicivora, is very uncertain. We suspect that this latter station is filled by the Taylor-Warblers of India, not one of which is to be found in our public Museums.

Specific Character.

Le Lory de Ceram. Briss. Orn. 4. 215.
The popular name of Lories has long been given to those Parrots, peculiar to the continent and islands of India, whose brilliant red plumage forms a strong contrast to the green colour which generally pervades this family. The southern limits of their distribution do not extend to Australia, but much of their general structure is transferred to the Lory-Parrakeets, forming the modern genus Trichoglossus; this latter group being diffused over the remaining islands of the great Pacific Ocean.
The Ceram Lory, from being well known, and exhibiting the prominent characters of its tribe, is a correct type of the genus. Its length is about eleven inches. The general colour is rich scarlet, with the wings and thighs green: the bend of the shoulder, (and sometimes a spot on the back,) is yellow. Tail graduated, the lower half of the feathers deep blackish green, glossed with blue. Inhabits the Molucca Islands.
Notwithstanding the attention recently bestowed in characterizing the groups of this family, the most important external peculiarity of Lorius and Trichoglossus has been overlooked. In these birds, that part of the roof of the under mandible which projects beyond the lower, is generally thin, and always perfectly smooth: a weakness of structure which renders it impossible for these parrots to feed upon hard substances; and betrays their frugivorous and suctorial nature, by indications perceptible to every one.
