Re: Minor correction (was RE: Darwin et al. in new 2002 book)

RE: Darwin. I stand corrected. Eventually, I'll go
back to UCBerkeley, and examine all of the editions up
to 1872, and discover when Darwin added the mention of
the dinosaurs vis-a-vis extinction. At the moment, all
I have is my original note on a 3x5 card, without the
specific edition cited.
