Rafinesque's reputation: posthumous attacks

Rafinesque's reputation: posthumous attacks

I'm in the process of trying to finish a paper on Rafinesque's posthumous
reputation and would be grateful if anyone who reads this list knows of
any published attacks on him or his taxonomic work other than the one's I
list below. Please feel free to email me directly (jje21 at cam.ac.uk) and I
will post a summary to the list in due course. (And please don't send me
your opinion as to why Rafinesque deserves to be condemned, unless you've
published it somewhere!) Many thanks, Jim Endersby
