Dear Art,
It seems to me I emailed you about Thomas Say a weil back. I use the bio
below; his Florida expedition (basically the Jacksonville area) receives
detailed attention:
Weiss, H. B. and L. O. Howard, 1931. Thomas Say early American naturalist.
Charles C. Thomas, Baltimore. pp. 1-260 + xiv + 26 unpaginated plates.
