Re: More on the genus problem



Llerminier has had a list of many stated definitions, yes, but that
hardly equates to 146 *conceptions*; many of these are the same or
similar conceptions restated. However, I will look forward to the
book, but I doubt it's really conceptions (I don't think there is more
than one *concept* in play here: biological species.

I can only post from Google Mail directly, and I missed that there was
a plain text option.
