My apologies for the exceedingly long URL, but I thought this 1814 letter from Thomas Jefferson on the subject of classification in natural history might be of interest to those following this thread. http://etext.virginia.edu/etcbin/ot2www-singleauthor?specfile=/web/data/jefferson/texts/jefall.o2w&act=text&offset=6696745&textreg=1&query=linnaeus
And many thanks to those who pointed me to several possible sources for the proceedings of the International Archaeopteryx Conference. My hope is that one of them will come through! Pat |
