Constantine Samuel Ilafinesque, botanist, 

 born in Galatz, a suburb of Constantinople, 

 Turkey, in 1784. died in Philadelphia, Pa., Sep- 

 tember 18, 1842. He was of French parentage,

and his father, amerchant, died in Philadelphia 

 about 1791. The son came to Philadelphia with 

 his brotlier in 1802, and, after traveling through 

 Pennsylvania and Delaware, returned with a 

 collection of botanical specimens in 1805 and 

 went to Sicily, where he spent ten years as a 

 merchant and in the study of bot.any. In 1815 

 he sailed for New York, but was shipwrecked 

 on the Long Island coast, and lost his valuable 

 books, collections, manuscripts, and drawings. 

 In 1818 ho went to the west and became pro 

 fessor of botany in Transylvania University, 

 Lexington, Ky. Subsecjueutly he traveled and 

 lectiu'ed in various places, endeavored to estab- 

 lish a magazine and botanic garden, but with- 

 out success, and tinally settled in Philadelphia, 

 where he resided until his death, and where he 

 published The Atlantic Journal and Friend of 

 Knowledge; a Cj'clopiudic Journal and Keview, 

 of which only eight numbers appeared ( 1832-'33) . 

 The numberof genera and species that heintro- 

 duced into his works produced great confusion. 

 Agradual deterioration is found in Ratinesque's 

 botanical writings from 1819 till 1830, when tlie 

 passion for establishing new genera and species 

 seems to have become a monomania with him. 

 He assvuued thirty to one hundred years as the 

 average time required for the production of a 

 new species and five hundred to a thousand 

 years for a new genus. It is said that he wrote 

 a paper describing "twelve new species of 

 thunder and lightning." In addition to trans- 

 lations and nntinished botanical and zoological 

 works, he was the author of numerous books 

 and pamphlets. — Appleton's Cyclop, of Am.
