Latin for Comma-shaped

[Dr. Neil Snow]

> I would strongly recommend colleagues dipping into that excellent book 'Composition of Scientific Words' by Roland Brown (published by Smithsonian Institution Press . . .last reprint I have is 1979). It is a goldmine of Latin and Greek words for terms and especially for coining specific epithets.  He gives several examples of the use of 'comma',  e.g. Vibrio comma (bacterium of Asiatic cholera), Polygonia comma (a butterfly).

> By the way is that publication still available?

I obtained a copy from the Smithsonian Inst. Press in August of 1999.
