If memory serves me correct (a

) Pilsbry named some 5000
QUITE A FEW WERE CRUSTACEA, BUT WHAT THE HECK?
and Dall a slightly lesser number.

CORRECT.  AND ACTUALLY PILSBRY'S LOST A COMPARATIVELY FEW TO SYNONOMY.  HE
WAS REALLY BRILLIANT.  SUCH A GRASP OF EVERY SINGLE GROUP.  CRANKING OUT
PAPERS, OVER 1000 PUBLICATIONS, QUILL PEN, CANDLELIGHT, AHHH, NO PEER
REVIEWS AND HE WAS STILL MORE OFTEN CORRECT THAN ALL OF US PUT TOGETHER.
WHAT A MIND THAT GUY HAD.  OK, I'VE DECIDED I HATE HIM.  TIME FOR AN
ANTI-DEPRESSANT.
