Iris data

[Robert Jones]

   I'm preparing demos and handouts for a course on pattern
   analysis, and I'd like to use as an example the famous example
   of the three iris species that can be separated by linear
   discriminant.  
   [...]
   I can't find the original Anderson reference, or the Fisher 
   reference, and no other paper gives the original data
   (understandably).  Does someone have a reference for another place 
   where the data might be published, or (better yet) does anyone 
   have this data on line in a file that they could mail me?

Take a look at the datasets that are distributed with the Statistics
package 'S' ... I've got a hunch (nothing more) that I've seen this data
within S. 

I don't have the package here to take a look myself, sorry.
