CASTRACANE DEGLI ANTELMINELLI, FRANCESCO. - Priest and naturalist, b. at Fano on 19 July 1817, d. at Rome on 27 March 1899. He lived in an era in which some were beginning to confuse Christian consciences by spreading evolutionist theories, and he found in the constancy of diatoms from the Eocene to our own day an argument for the fixity of species. His work Le diatomee e il trasformismo deals with this subject (in Memorie della Pontificia Accademia dei Nuovi Lincei, 3 [1888], pp. 231-48).
