Bibliography 



The publications by Rafinesque relating to fishes 

 are widely scattered both in point of time and place. 

 They began in the year 1810, at Palermo, Sicily, and 

 ended at Philadelphia, in 1832. His published work 

 comprises thirty- three titles, some of which are exten- 

 sive contributions to ichthyology. Others of the 

 titles herein listed are very brief notes, and have little 

 value other than to serve as an index to the constant 

 activity of the mind of this remarkable man. Rafi- 

 nesque never quite abandoned his early love, though 

 most of his published work on fishes dates about the 

 years 18 18 to 1823. For the rest he was occupied 

 with botanical and other pursuits. 



The list which follows is believed to comprise all 

 the works, and parts of works, issued by Rafinesque, 

 which have any relation to ichthyology.
