Nabokov the Lepidopterist

[Lewis B. Sckolnick]

  The Land Bridge mentioned in the article was most likely 600-800 miles 
wide x 1000-1600 miles high as opposed to the strip bridge we have been 
indoctrinated with. Earthquakes changed the topography. Take a look at 
any good bathymetric map and see for yourself. The Bering and Chukchi 
Seas are wading pools.

Our family name was butterfly in Yiddish until my grandfather simplified 
things.
