CV. RAFINESQUE, Ichthyologia Ohiensis, 1820. 



It was the fortune of Professor Rafinesque to be one of the first to 

 explore two of the richest fish faunas of the world, that of Sicily and 

 that of the Ohio River. His various papers show his pecuUar traits, in- 

 tense activity, keen philosophical insight, and hopeless slovenliness in 

 method.
