2o8 The Life and Writings of 



those that relate to ichthyological matters are in excess. 

 A singular fact is next apparent in that historical, rather 

 than scientific, subjects appear to have received atten 

 tion, there being thirty-nine papers which may be so 

 classed. Poems, with four subjects, one of which com 

 prised some two hundred pages, presents the smallest 

 number of titles. 



BIBLIOGRAPHIA INCERTA. 



i. The Cosmonist. (Twenty Numbers of articles under this title 

 in the Kentucky Gazette, 1822.) 



The files of the Kentucky Gazette, which were formerly 

 complete and in the Lexington Library, have suffered 

 so much at the hands of unscrupulous visitors that nearly 

 all that portion which comprised the years 1821-1825 

 has been removed from the library. There is now no 

 complete copy known. The missing portion contained 

 the numbers of the Gazette in which these articles of 

 Rafinesque appeared. 



/?. The Mexicans in 1830. 



Said by Rafinesque, in his &quot;Life of Travels&quot;, to have 

 been published in 1831. It has been impossible to learn 

 more of the paper.
