Buffon, Georges, Comte de (1707-1788) - English
URL: http://www.treasure-troves.com/bios/Buffon.html

French naturalist who became keeper of the French botanical gardens. At first, he believed in Leibniz's Law of Continuity and disagreed with Linnaeus's system of nomenclature, maintaining that a species was an artificial category. He changed his mind, however, when he found that the offspring of some plant hybridizations were sterile. He proposed identifying species through their reproductive histories, with two animals belonging to the same species if they can produce fertile offspring.
