Herbert Stevens

Herbert Stevens (27 January 1877 – 1 June 1964) was a British ornithologist and entomologist.

Stevens' regular employment was as a tea-planter. He left the U.K. in 1901 to work in India, and became the manager of the Gopaldhara Tea Estate in Darjeeling.

In 1921 Stevens returned to live in the U.K., settling at Tring, Hertfordshire with his wife Amy. From time to time in later life Stevens traveled as a naturalist, for example taking part in the Sladen-Godman Expedition to Tonkin [northern Vietnam] in 1925 and the Kelley-Roosevelt Asiatic Expedition to China in 1928. In 1930–1931, Stevens participated in Charles Suydam Cutting's Expedition to Sikkim and Bengal Terai, where he collected mammal, bird and reptile specimens for the Field Museum of Chicago.
