Talk:List of malacologists

New articles
Filling in some binomial authorities and creating some new stubs. These are all works in progress.


 * Aturiidae Chapman, 1865


 * Guessing he's this chap: Chapman, Henry Cadwalader
 * Although publishing his research in many fields of biology and natural science, his speciality was fossil shells. His drawings on stone illustrated much of the American Journal of Conchology.


 * H. & G. Nevill (from late 1860s to late 1880s)


 * Brothers Hugh & Geoffrey Nevill. These two crop up a lot. -- Hillbillyholiday talk 18:05, 20 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Fred Baker


 * Lots of information, just need to transliterate sources and shape into proper article.


 * Michael Bielz


 * Some information, but need to translate from German and Hungarian sources.


 * Johann Christian Albers


 * Lots of species described but no real biographical information. -- Hillbillyholiday talk 02:14, 21 August 2013 (UTC)


 * James Hamilton Couper


 * There's a whole book devoted to Couper, and stacks of plantation records, certainly enough for a decent bio. Little in the way of good material regarding conchology. -- Hillbillyholiday talk 06:32, 22 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Elizabeth Gray


 * Enough for a decent bio here. Needs transliterating and list of her finds/works would be good. -- Hillbillyholiday talk 13:28, 24 August 2013 (UTC)

Michele and Mario Lessona
I have added a brief new article about Mario Lessona who was the author of a couple of malacological papers on Italian slugs, including the important monograph with Pollonera. When I came to add his name here, I saw that his father Michele Lessona was listed. Michele was a prominent Italian biologist (e.g. translating work of Darwin) and became a senator. But he was a vertebrate man and I am not aware of any work of his on molluscs, so I suspect that his listing here is a confusion with his son (both are M. Lessona). I have removed Michele from the list but please reinstate if I am mistaken Jmchutchinson (talk) 00:17, 23 December 2014 (UTC)

I have now discovered that Michele Lessona wrote a treatise on Cephalopods, so he does deserve to be included. In fact, it looks like I forgot to take him out anyway! Jmchutchinson (talk) 06:31, 14 January 2015 (UTC)
