Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>A review of the vast literature on the epistemology and ontology of "species" is far beyond the capacity of both the writer and the length‐allotment of this essay, limiting it to a somewhat dogmatic presentation of personal opinions, few of them original. Also prohibited by the prescribed word limit is an account of species concepts considered but not adopted; in many cases, their omission does not do justice to their intellectual content.</p> </abstract>
