Abstract
In response to an earlier critique (Cohen 1992), immuno-taxonomy has been defended as providing a timely and practical approach to brachiopod systematics (Curry et al. 1993). Although the concept of applying this methodology to the brachiopod shell is novel and worthwhile, and has the potential importance for palaeobiology, the alternative analysis given here suggests that its practical utility remains highly uncertain because of conceptual and methodological limitations. These limitations cast doubt on, but do not necessarily disprove, systematic relationships inferred from the immuno-taxonomic data (Collins et al. 1991c; (Curry et al. 1991))
