Note 265 — Chapter XIX · AUDUBON AND RAFINESQUE

"At Palermo," said Swainson, "I had the pleasure of meeting ... Rafinesque Schmaltz, whose first name is familiar to most zoölogists. In the society of such congenial minds, I passed many happy hours, and made many delightful excursions ... by the inducement of the latter, I was led to investigate the ichthyology of the western coast."
