[Taxacom] names for non-existing species

[John Bruner]

The story was published but I am afraid I do not remember exactly where.
 You might find it in one of the following publications or you might not.

Jordan, David S. 1877. Review of Rafinesque's memoirs on North American
fishes. Bull;. U.S. Nat. Mus. No. 9:1-53.

Fitzpatrick, T. J. 1982. Fitzpatrick's Rafinesque: A sketch of his life
with bibliography. Rev. and enl. by Charles Boewe. Weston, Mass. M & S
Press.

Some additional information:

Bogan, Arthur E. 1988. A bibliographic history of C. S. Rafinesque's work
on North American freshwater bivalves. Archives of Natural History Vol.
15(2):149-154.
