3 Quotations from Barrington J. Bayley
Aldebaranian adj. | 1973 | Seed of Evil in New Writings in SF 23 (1975) iv. 168 His needs were financed out of the returns from his books. Julian had studied them all assiduously, especially the lengthy Aldebaranian Social Organisation, but had learned nothing useful.

Earth-type adj. 2 | 1994 | Gnostic Endings: Flight to the Hypercosmos in Interzone (#85) July 9/1 The search was soon switched to Earthtype planets, and these proved difficult to find.
