Thanks for the kind words, Chuck. I'm glad the article was of use to the
librarian.

And also, thank you for YOUR contribution. You may remember a few years back
you looked up a copy of Blatchley's "Fishes of Indiana" and transcribed some
info on bowfin. That info made it into the sidebar on the bowfin's various
common names.
