Abstract:
These few sheets of notes and sketches seem to belong to an unknown person conducting research at the library of the American Museum of Natural History on a Rafinesques manuscript. Notes are written on paper with the library's letterhead and entitled "Rafinesque: MS notes from ichthyologia [Ohieusis?]". Notes are in Italian and French. A brief portion of a letter in English signed "H. Graham" is included in which Graham seems to ask a patron to return materials to the library. Undated.
