Lacking information about Iga in the harpacticoid name Tigriopus igai Ito, 1977. Maybe Iga is not a person, but the Iga Area of Mie Prefecture, Japan?

The sponge genus Igernella Topsent, 1905 is named after Igerna Brunhilda Johnson Sollas , 1877-1965, (daughter of W.J. Sollas (q.v.), distinguished author of the Challenger Expedition report on Tetractinellid sponges, 1888). She published at least two papers on sponges, including one on Malaysian sponges. At best she is a minor author and it is unknown why Topsent considered her worthy of naming a genus for her. Like her older sister Dr. Hertha Beatrice Coryn Sollas (born 1875), she was educated in the Alexandra School and College, Dublin and then at Newnham College, Cambridge, where she was active as a fellow and lecturer in zoology during some years from 1903 to 1913, but seems to have disappeared from academic life fron 1914 on. Her sister achieved a PhD at the Univ. of Heidelberg, (Dr, Rob van Soest, Univ. of Amsterdam, kindly provided the connection between eponym and person).

Dr. Hermann Friedrich Albrecht (Ritter) von Ihering, (9 Oct. - Kiel) 1850-1930 (24 Feb. - Büdingen), German-Brazilian zoologist / physician and founder (1894) and director during the first 22 years of the São Paulo museum Museu Paulista.

He had been a disciple of Weber (q.v.) and Sluiter (q.v.) and achieved his PhD in 1906. In 1925 Ihle succeeded Sluiter as professor of general Zoology. He cooperated with Nierstrasz (q.v.) in publishing zoological textbooks [Loxothylacus ihlei Boschma, 1949, Ihlea Metcalf, 1914, Ihleia Travassos & Vogelsang, 1932, Cyclosalpa ihlei van Soest, 1974].

The mysid name Iimysis Nouvel, 1966 must be a tribute to Dr. Naoyoshi Ii, 19??-, who in 1937 published "Studies on Japanese Mysidacea III" after having published the two first parts the year before (and no. VI arriving in 1940). He also had two small publications in 1964 about the same animal group and also a large publicatuon about Japanese mysids in general.

He had studied in Tokyo under Edward S. Morse, 1838-1925, and Charles O. Whitman, 1842-1910, and later three years in Leipzig under K.G. Leuckart (q.v.), achieving his PhD there in 1884 and became professor in Tokyo after arriving back to Japan the following year.

(Dr. Rob van Soest kindly provided part of this information).

Christina IJspert, 1916-1998, Dutch Malacologist. (The name is here spelled as it should with IJ (meaning Y) in the beginning, as this letter normaly is written in Dutch, while Germans write Ü instead of Y).

Lacking information about Ikari in the medusa names Climacocodon ikarii Uchida, 1924 and Tiarama ikarii Uchida, 1927, but possibly tributes to the algal researcher Jirô Ikari, 18??-19??, who published on diatoms in the stomach of Crassostrea gigas in 1929.

Lacking information about N. Ikebe in the bivalve name Tenuileda ikebei Suzuki & Kanehara, 1936, but possibly the palaeontologist Prof. Nobuo Ikebe, 19??-2000?, of Osaka. A memorial volume to him was published in 1978 and an obituary in Jan. 2001.

The Japanese "gephyrean" researcher Prof. Iwaji Ikeda, 1872-1922, Kyoto Imperial Univ., is honoured in the echiuroid genus names Ikeda Wharton, 1913, Ikedella Monro, 1927 and Ikedosoma Bock, 1942 and in the sipunculan names Golfingia ikedai Fisher, 1950 and Phascolion ikedai Sato, 1930 and possibly also in the gastropod name Conus ikedai Ninomiya, 1986 and possibly the thecostracan name Calantica (Paracalantica) ikedai Utinomi, 1949. Ikeda published chiefly during the first decade of the 20:th century (and also a poshoumous work in 1924). The copepod metabolism worker Tsutomu Ikeda, 1944-, is a namesake.

Dr. Thomas M. Iliffe, 1948-, Dept. of Marine Biology, Texas A&M Univ. at Galveston, works on crustaceans,especially those inhabiting anchialine caves, a career he startd on the Bermudas [Stenobermuda iliffei Kensley, 1994, Cumella iliffei Bacescu, 1992,Mysidium iliffei Bacescu, 1991, Iliffeoecia Maddocks, 1991 iliffei Maddocks, 1991, Armadilloniscus iliffei Taiti & Ferrara, 1989, Euplotes iliffei Hill & Small, 1987, Aponesidea iliffei Maddocks, 1986, Pelagomacellicephala iliffei Pettibone, 1985, Typhlatya iliffei Hart & Manning, 1981, Cocoharpinia iliffei Karaman, 1980].

His education began at the Univ. of California at Berkeley, where he was influenced by e.g. the professors Light (see M.S. Wilson), Kofoid (q.v.) and Goldschmidt (q.v.). Between 1947-52 he was associate curator of Marine Invertebrates (Crustacea) at the Smithsonian, after which period he went to the US west coast (Univ. of Washington) as first assistant (soon full) professor. According to the kind information from Dr. D. Damkaer, the tunicate-associate copepod-genus Paulillgia Monniot, 1982 commemorates him, as do the names of eight species of other copepods [e.g. Ophiodelphys illgi Bocquet & Stock, 1961, Orthopsyllus linearis illgi (Chappuis, 1958), Phytodelphis illgi Ooishi,1998, Stellicola illgi Humes & Stock, 1973, Brementia illgi Laubier & Lafargue, 1974, Rhabdodemania illgi Wieser, 1959, Pluribursaeplana illgi Ax & Ax, 1967]. (Obituary in Monoculus 36)

Dr. Johann Karl Wilhelm Illiger, (19 Nov. - Braunschweig) 1775-1813 (10 May - Berlin), German entomologist, the leading scientist of his time in this field [possibly, but perhaps not likely Boreomysis illigi O. Tattersall, 1955]. In 1802, he learned to know the entomologist Johann Centurius Hoffman, Count von Hoffmannsegg, (23 Aug. - Dresden) 1766-1849 (13 Dec.), and described many of the insects in the count's vast collection.

Lacking information about Imai in the amphipod name Caprella imaii Utinomi, 1943.

Dr. Minoru Imajima, 1930-, Japanese polychaetologist at Noto Marine Laboratory, Kanazawa Univ. and National Science Museum, Tokyo [Imajimea Nygren, 2004 (I. draculai (San Martin & Lopez, 2002) being an Autolytiinae worm with two larger trepan teeth (and several small teeth between the large) - reminding of the garniture of count Dracula, living in mucus tubes among the polyps of the tall sea pen Funiculina quadrangularis (seemingly inhabiting 25-33% of these sea pen specimens) - at least in the Biscay and in the Skagerrak in depths below ca 150 meters), Imajimapholoe Pettibone, 1992, Tubificoides imajimai Brinkhurst, 1985, Imajimanereis de León-González & Solis-Weiss, 2000, Lumbrineris imajimai Carrera Parra, 2006. (Dr. Riccardo Giannuzzi-Savelli, Palermo, kindly provided the last eponym).

Lacking information about Imamura in the copepod name Psammopsyllus imamurai Kikuchi, 1972 and in the bivalve name Thyasira imamurai Okutani, 1968, but at least the first of these names may possilbly be a tribute to the water mite researcher Prof. Dr. Taiji Imamura, 1913?-2004 (28 Dec., aged 91), Ibaraki Nature Museum.

The South African gastropod name Conus immelmani Korn, 1998, is likely a tribute to Willie Immelman, 19??-, shell collector from Jeffreys Bay, South Africa, who also is honoured in another gastropod name: Triviella immelmani Kilburn, 1980

Ferrante Imperato, 1550-1625, Italian naturalist & druggist in Napoli (Naples).

The harpacticoid name Tegastes imthurni (Thompson & Scott, 1903) is honouring Sir Everard Ferdinand im Thurn, 1852-1932 (9 Oct.), British botanist, photographer and anthropologist, i.a. travelling in South America and being Governor of Fiji 1904-11. (André Trombeta, Brazil, kindly provided this information).

Prof. Masamaru Inaba, 18??-19??, professor of zoology in the Higher Normal School at Yamaguchi, publishing about hydroids during the 1890s, is honoured in the medusa name Sarsia inabai Uchida, 1933 and the Lucernarian name Stenoscyphus inabai (Kishinouye, 1893). A namesake, Dr. Akihiko Inaba, 19??-, published in 1958 on marine mollusks in the sea around the Seto marine laboratory and may likely be the person honoured in the nudibranch name Eubranchus inabai Baba, 1964. He is now an emeritus member of The Malacological Society of Japan.

Chiton incii Reeve was named for Captain Ince, 18??-1???, nephew of Dr. J.E Gray (q.v.). Ince was captain of a surveying ship and shell collector [Neverita incei R. A. Philippi, 1853]. Possibly he may be identical with the British naval commander John Matthew Robert Ince, 18??-1???.

Mr. Boon Indrambarya, 1???-, Thailand, is honoured in the hagfish name Eptatretus indrambaryai Wongratana, 1983.

Lacking information about Inez in the bivalve names Plicatula inezana Durham, 1950 and Pseudochama inezae F.M. Bayer, 1943, but possibly is not Durham's eponym not a tribute toi a person's name, but to Santa Inez Bay, in Gulf of California, because the type material was likely found among material in E.W. Scripps' cruise to Gulf of California.

Who is Ingelore in the polychaete name Oriopsis ingeloreae Plate, 1995? Possibly a tribute to Ingelore Hinz-Schallreuter, 19??-, German marine palaeontologist?

The Bermuda crab name Chaceon inghami (Manning & Holthuis, 1986) is a tribute to a local fisherman, John Ingham, 19??-, who first fished the species and in 1984 got his crab traps destroyed by something in the Bermudas area, thought to have been a giant octopus. (Dr. Joanna Pitt, Division of Marine Resources, Bermuda Government Dept. of Environmental Protection, kindly provided this information in 2009 and is adding that Ingham is still alive).

The British crab specialist Dr. Raymond William Ingle, 19??-, formerly of The Natural History Museum, London, is honoured in the crab names Pilumnoides inglei Guinot & Macpherson, 1987 & Chaecon inglei Manning & Holthuis, 1989 [Diogenes inglei McLaughlin & Clark, 1997, Acanthonyx elongatus inglei Tirmmizi & Kazmi, 1988, possibly Trypanosyllis inglei Perkins, 1981].

Cryodesma agnari Svavarsson, 1988 is named after Professor Dr. Agnar Ingólfsson, 1937-, University of Iceland (Ph.D. in Ecology/Ornithology, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, U.S.A. in 1967), who first introduced Svavarsson to crustaceans. He achieved his BSc. at the Univ of Aberdeen, Scotland in 1961 and his PhD at the Univ. of Michigan, Ann Arbor, in 1967.

The amphipod name Stegocephaloides ingstadi Berge & Vader, 2003 is named for the great Norwegian ethnologist and traveller Helge Ingstad, (30 Dec. - Meråker) 1899-2001 (29 Mar.). He and his wife are mainly known for the discovery of the early norse settlements in Labrador, l'Anse aux Meadows, but Ingstad also lived in younger days among Inuits and has published essential books about this. (Prof. Wim Vader, Tromsø, kindly provided this information).

Lacking information about Inn(a) in the harpacticoid name Paralaophonte innae Tschislenko, 1977.

Dr. Takashi Ino, 1915-, Japanese malacologist, who published during the 1950s, is honoured in the polyplacophoran name Notoplax inoi Is. Taki, 1962. (Andrew Vik, Tampa, Florida kindly provided this information).

Derek Cave Insall, (1 Aug. - Plymouth) 1913-1979 (1 Nov. - Holon, Israel), collected the type of the very elongate Terebra insalli Bratcher & Burch, 1976 at Eilat, Gulf of Aqaba. He was the son of Henry James Raby Insall and his wife Gladys (nee Lewis). He grew up to be a constable in the Metropolitan police squad. St. James Division, Scotland Yard, and was during the 1930s sent to Palestine as part of the British mandate police force and he served as a mounted policeman fighting against the Arab uprising in about 1936-39.  In 1940 he married Malka Kaplan (sister of the late grandmother of the informer below). He was a very interesting man, who used to explore the beaches and classify shells he found.  He was very tall with ramrod straight posture, and his signature handelbar moustache. He served as the Chief Inspector District Food Controller in Haifa from 1943-1947 and then transferred to serve with the Palestine Railways. In 1948 he was Labour Superintendent at Haifa Port, when Palestine became an independant State called Israel and most of the British Mandate Force left. (Nicole Rosenberg, Israel, kindly provided all this information, sent the photo and added some notes from Insall found by her on the Internet: He has found live specimens of Cypraea lurida, including one 21 inches long taken in fairly shallow water at Shikmona, south of Haifa, Israel (compilers note: a decimal point must have been omitted in 21 between 2 and 1, which make the size ca 53 mm - a gigantic specimen of this species, normally rarely reaching more than 45 mm). Low water, of course, has no meaning in the almost tideless Mediterranean. He goes on: "Cypraea are not at all common at this end of the Mediterranean; they seem to be more plentiful around Italy and Sicily. C. pyrum Gmelin, which is also found here occasionally, seems to be more common in Greece and Turkey. It is possible to find live specimens of C. spurca L. near Haifa, and to the north and south of the town. This is a very variable species. Both dorsal and ventral sides range from dark red-brown with darker dorsal spots to bright orange with brown margins and base. Some shells have cream or white bases, with beige or fawn backs with darker spots which also reach the margins.").

Lacking information about A. Intès, 19??-, in the Callianassid name Glypturus intesi (de Saint Laurent & Le Loeuff, 1979) and in the scaphopod name Dentalium (Antalis) intesi Nickles, 1979. However it may likely be the same person, the benthos researcher Dr. André Intès of Centre de Rechecherche Oceanographiques, Abidjian, Ivory Coast (later Directeur de Recherches, ORSTOM, Brest), as the ostracod species Pteromeniscus intesi Kornicker, 1981 is honouring and who published on fisheries in the New Caledonia area in 1978.

Is a person's name Iracia hiding in the ophiuroid name Amphiura iraciae Tommasi & Oliveira, 1976?

Tom Iredale, (24 Mar. - Stainburn, Workington, Cumberland) 1880-1972 (12 Apr. - Harbord), English autodidact ornithologist & conchologist, who worked at the British Museum (Nat. Hist.) spending almost a year (in 1908) at the Kermadec Island together with Brook Oliver (q.v.) watching, collecting and eating birds, having arrived at New Zealand in Dec. 1901, but returning to England and the British Museum (Nat. Hist.) after a collecting trip to Queensland Australia in 1909. At Kermadec Island his interest in molluscs began. He moved to Australia in 1923 (possibly partly because of his suffering from tuberculosis) and between 1924-44 he worked in the Australian Museum, Sydney. He became a hard-working man, but did never learn to use a type-writer and did never make any revisions in his malacological work [Cryptoplax iredalei E. Ashby, 1923, Murexiella iredalei W. F. Ponder, 1972, Strombus iredalei Abbott, 1960, Mareleptopoma iredalei (Bavay, 1921)]. {photo from A monograph of Australian Loricates, Iredal & Hull, 1927 / courtesy of R. Giannuzzi-Savelli}.

Lacking information about Irving in the cephalopod name Sepia irvingi Meyer, 1909, but perhaps an Australian? collector.

The geophysical oceanographer Prof. John Dove Isaacs III, (28 Mar. - Spokane, Washington) 1913-1980 (6 June - Rancho Sante Fe, Cal.) developed in 1951 he, together with Lewis W. Kidd, 1923?-, both working at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, the much used Isaacs-Kidd Midwater Trawl, published by them under this name in 1953, a device for collecting fish larvae, larger zooplankton and other more or less hyperbenthic organisms. At least some organism names are in honour of J.D. Isaacs III: Monognathus isaacsi Raju, 1974, Maulisia isaacsi Matsui & Rosenblatt, 1987 and possibly also Nannobrachium isaacsi (Wisner, 1974), while the gastropod name Africanella isaacsi (Houart, 1984) seems to be a tribute to a malacologist named R. Isaacs, 19??-, working on Muricoidea.

Isabel : (see Ball).

The hermit crab name Calcinus isabellae Poupin, 1997 is in honour of the author's wife Isabelle, 19??-,.

Lacking information about Isabella in the actinian name Andwakia isabellae Carlgren O. & Hedgpeth J.W., 1952 and in the nemertean name Zygonemertes isabellae Corrêa, 1954, but likely at least some of the names may possibly have been in honour of Isabella Gordon (q.v.), who i.a. corresponded with at least Hedgpeth. However the monogenean species name Benedenia isabellae F.G. Meserve, 1938 got its name because it was found on gills of an unidendified fish at Isabel Island, Mexico

Lacking information about Isaitshikov in the nematod name Halalamus isaitshikovi (Filipjev, 1927).

Isak : (see Berge).

Isao Taki : (see Taki).

The cephalopod Mastigoteuthis iselini McDonald & Clench, 1934 was named for Prof. Columbus O'Donnell Iselin II, (25 Sep. - New Rochelle, New York) 1904-71 (5 Jan. - Falmouth, Mass.), research associate (later director) of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Inst., USA. The R/V "Columbus Iselin", which during the 1970s made trawling cruises in the Atlantic is also honouring his name.

Dr. Chiyomatsu Ishikawa, 1861-1935, Japanese zoologist i.a. working at the Naples Zoological station; a disciple of Weismann (q.v.) and of Edward Sylvester Morse (q.v.), who held some early lectures at the Tokyo Univ. on Darwinism, thus responsible for disseminating Darwin's ideas of evolution in Japan.

Lacking information about Ito in the bivalve name Thracia itoi T. Habe, 1961, the tanaid name Leptochelia itoi Ishimaru, 1985 and in the plathelminth name Archimonocelis itoi Tajika, 1981. At least the bivalve name may be a tribute to Kiyoshi Itô, 1???-, who in 1965 together with Habe published Vol. 1 of "Shells of the World in colour", although another Japanese malacologist, Kodo Itô, 1905-1961, may be an alternative.

(Another picture (showing what a soft bottom researcher sometimes has to stand, when visiting Tjärnö - from autumn 2003))

Lacking information about Ivanov in the cephalopod name Sepia ivanovi Khromov, 1982. Piotr Pavlovich Ivanov, 1878-1942, St. Petersburg zoologist, may be one possibility, if not e.g. A. V. Ivanov or D.L. Ivanov, are possible, but the compiler of this text does not know enough about the author Dmitriy Nikolaevich Khromov's relation to different Ivanov's to know which of them, who is most likely.

Mr. (later Professor) Richard Ivell, 1949-, sent the author of the very rare actinian Edwardsia ivelli Manuel, 1975 twenty living specimens of this species from Widewater Lagoon, Lancing, West Sussex.

The copepod name Enhydrosoma ivitteae Jakobi, 1955 must likely honour a Brazil collector, but who? A collector of Diptera, Mycetophilidae was active there in 1945, named R.I. Ivitte, 19??-, but if this person is identical to the person helping Jakobi is very unsure.

Prof. Vladimir S. Ivlev, 1???-1964, who in 1955 published on fish nutrition, is honoured in the copepod name Oncaea ivlevi Schmeleva, 1966. He founded in 1959 the Department of Animal Physiology, Institute of Biology of the Southern Seas, Sevastopol, Ukraine.

Dr. John Wilfrid Jackson, (Scarborough) 1880-1978 (16 Nov.), British conchologist, chiefly publishing on non marine material [likely Cingula jacksoni Bartsch, 1953].

The harpacticoid name Parathalestris jacksoni (T. Scott, 1899) is in honour of the British explorer Frederick George Jackson, 1860-1938 (13 Mar.), and his expedition to Franz Josef Land was 1894-1897. By pure chance, it was Jackson who famously met Nansen (q.v.) (and Nansen's follower Hjalmar Johansen, 1867-1913) just walking out from his "Farthest North," after Nansen's three-year absence. "Dr. Nansen, I presume?" (Dr. David Damkaer kindly provided this information).

The bryozooan name Escharoides jacksoni (Waters, 1900) may possibly have been from the Windward expedition to Franz Josef Land, in that case certainly a tribute to F.G. Jackson (above) or else this Jackson may have been Dr. Benjamin Daydon Jackson, (3 Apr. - London) 1846-1927 (12 Oct. - London), who was Secretary General of the Linnean Society of London.

The bivalve name Nuculana jacksoni (Gould, 1841) is likely a tribute to Dr. Charles Thomas Jackson, (21 June - Plymouth, Mass.) 1805-1880 (28 Aug. - Somerville, Mass.), US physician, interested in several items, like palaeontology and mineralology, but today mostly remembered for his involvement in several priority conflicts, e.g. the development of the telegraph.

Edward Richard Jacobson, (20 Mar. - Frankfurt am Main) 1870-1944 (29 Dec.), born by Dutch parents, was manager of a trading company in Java (but also lived some years in Sumatra). He was very interested in natural history, and made extensive collections for Dutch museums, leaving his business in 1910, to be able to devote himself to natural history alone. His main interest was entomology, but he collected also several other animals. He died in a camp during the Japanese occupation [Sesarmoides jacobsoni (Ihle,1912)].

The gastropod name Muricodrupa jacobsoni W. K. Emerson & A. D' Attilio, 1981 was dedicated to the late Morris Karl Jacobson, (29 Dec. - Memel, East Preussia (now Lithuania)) 1906-1980 (21 July, by heart attack), US teacher of foreign languages in Queens, New York and hobby malacologist associated with the Amereican Museum of Natural History, New York, but after retirement a resident of Palm Bay, E. Florida, who had arrived to USA with his parents at age one, "in recognition of his many and varied contributions to the field of malacology".

Lacking information about Jacoby in the bathyal Bahamian echinoid name Aspidodiadema jacobyi A. Agassiz,1883, but possibly it may have been a tribute to the Chrysomelid researcher of tropical America, the London based musician and entomologist Martin Jacoby, (12 Apr. - Altona) 1842-1907 (24 Dec.), but of course more likely another person.

The Galapagos gastropod name Terebra jacquelinae Bratcher & R.D. Burch, 1970 is very likely a tribute to Jacqueline De Roy (q.v.).

The anomuran name Porcellanopagurus jacquesi McLaughlin, 1997 may likely be a tribute to Prof. Jaques Forest (q.v.)..

The marine gastropod name Alvania jacquesi Hoenselaar & Goud, 1998 is named after Mr. Jacques Smit, 19??-, for his participation in the CANCAP-expedition for marine biological research in the Canarian-Cape Verdean region of the North Atlantic Ocean (1976-1986). Smit was connected to the Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie, Leiden.

Lacking information about Jacquet, 18??-1???, in the prawn name Metacrangon jacqueti (A. Milne-Edwards, 1881). Possibly the French entomologist Ernest Jacquet, 18??-1???, is honoured.

The Panama gastropod name Odostomia jadisi Olsson & McGinty, 1958 was named for Mr. Stewart Jadis, (11 June - Massachusetts) 1908-1987 (Apr. - Florida), of the Canal Zone Police force, "ardent collector of Panama shells and a valued friend of the authors".

Siegfried Gustav Adrian Jaeckel (or Jaekel), Jr., 1907-1986, German malacologist, who worked at the Zoological Museum of the University of Kiel, mainly on cephalopods and deep-living mollusca, like bivalves. There is another German malacologist with a similar name, Dr. Siegfried Heinrich Ferdinand Jaeckel, 1892-1970, Zoologisches Museum, Berlin, who seems to be somewhat too young to be the father of Jaeckel Jr. The scaphopod Siphonodentalium jaeckeli Scarabino, 1995 must be in honour of S.H.F. Jaeckel, who published on scaphopods, partly together with Thiele (q.v.), but for which Jaeckel was the octocoral Lobophytum jaeckeli Tixier-Durivault, 1956 named?

Prof. Dr. Theodore Louis Jahn, (17 Dec. - New Orleans) 1905-1979, US protistologist.

Janssen - kindly provided the information about whom was honoured by this name and pointed correctly out that because of the plural persons the name ought to have been janssenorum).

The coral name Catalaphyllia jardinei (Saville Kent, 1893) may likely honour the British naturalist Sir William Jardine, 7th baronet, (23 Feb.) 1800-1874 (21 Nov. - Edinburgh), F.L.S., etc., who published a lot regarding birds, monkeys, etc.

Lacking information about Jarl in the decapod name Salmoneus jarli (Holthuis, 1951) and the medusa name Aglauropsis jarli Kramp, 1955.

The rhynchodidan name Hypocomatidium jarockii Chatton & Lwoff, 1950 must of course be in honour of one of the authors of the genus name Hypocomatidium Jarocki & Raabe, 1932, namely J. Jarocki, or A.

The amphipod genus name Jassa Leach, 1814, is not easy to explain (and Leach never gave etymological explanations), but there is some likelyhood that Leach was influenced by his friend and colleague at the British Museum, the Rev. Thomas Maurice, 1754-1824, to use the name of prominent Sikh leaders, either Jassa Singh Ahluwalia, also known as Jassa Singh Kalal (later known as ’Guru ka lal’ – Guru’s beloved son), (Ahluwal, near Lahore) 1718-1783 (Amritsar), or perhaps Jassa Singh Ramgarhia, (Thoka Ichogli village, near Amritsar) 1723-1803, when constucting this name. Maurice, who was a noted oriental scholar and historian, likely also helped Leach with other names, like Calanus Leach, 1816 (from the Macedonian nickname Kalanos of the Indian jain Sfinas, who followed Alexander's Macedonian army westwards when retreating), Balcis J.E. Gray, 1847 (ex Leach MS); Balkis or Bilqus was the name of the queen of Sheba, which Arabic authors used, Phaxas J.E.

John Gwyn Jeffreys, (18 Jan. - Swansea, Wales) 1809-1885 (21 Jan. - London), solicitor from Swansea, who got interested in conchology already when young. By conchology Jeffreys meant not only shell collecting, but the total science about molluscs. He moved his office to London in 1856 and began succesively organize dredging expeditions, e.g. summer expeditions between 1861-68 with the 51-ft yacht "Osprey", which he borrowed from his brother-in-law. The yacht was originally rigged as a cutter, but in 1868, when Jeffreys purchased it, it was changed into a schooner. These expeditions primarily visited Shetlands, W Scotland, Channel Islands, Norway etcetera and he was accompanied by chosen specialists on other animal groups, i.a. Peach, Norman, Barlee, Waller, etcetera (see theese gentlemen). Later he took part in some longer expeditions to W Greenland and the Bay of Biscay and visited collecting colleagues in foreign countries. He more or less quitted as a solicitor in 1866 and moved to Hertfordshire. Politically he was a member of the Tory party. He was thought of as a bit snobbish and could not come to terms with Darwinism, because, according to his view, it implied that no borders between species were to be found. "British Conchology" in 5 volumes 1862-69 is his main work. His succesively very extensive shell collection was purchased for the Smithsonian Institution 1883 by W.H. Dall (q.v.)

Leonard Jenyns (later Blomefield), (25 May - London) 1800-1893 (1 Sep. - Bath), British naturalist, corresponding member of the Berwickshire Naturalist Club, one of the original memers of the Ray Society. The change of name was a condition when he in 1871 inherited a Norfolk property from his father's cousin Francis Blomefield (who had died already 1817) and Jenyns actually was the naturalist first suggested to follow the Beagle around the world, but he declined and himself suggested that his friend Darwin should be on board instead, because he could not leave his vicarage at Swaffham Bulbeck, where he served between 1828-49, during as long a period as five years. By marriage he was a nephew of the chemist, geologist, botanist and writer Prof. Charles Giles Bridle Daubeny, (11 Feb. - Stratton, Gloucestershire) 1795-1867 (12 Dec.) of Oxford.

Louis Jurine, (6 Feb. - Geneva) 1751-1819 (20 Oct. - Geneva (by heart attack - his medical speciality)), Swiss surgeon and naturalist, best known for his monographs on wasps, fishes, and freshwater copepods, who posthumously 1820 published a copepod work "Nat. Hist. des Monocles des Envir. de Genève". His name entered marine science in a roundabout way: Claus (1866) gave Jurine's name to the littoral harpacticoid genus Jurinia, not knowing that this was pre-occupied by an insect from 1830. C. B. Wilson (1924), therefore, changed Claus's genus to Lourinia, by Latinizing Jurine's first name [Apherusa jurinei (Milne Edwards, 1830)]. (Dr. D. Damkaer kindly provided some of this information).

He had been a disciple of Tullberg (q.v.) in Uppsala during his education. His autobiography "Upplevt och uppnått", Natur och Kultur, 1943, is worth reading if one is searching curio and nice gossip concerning contemporary biologists. Already while rather young he had some hard of hearing problems, a disability, which succesively increased and became his Fate; he was run over by a train when walking on the railway tracks after a hunting excursion [Jaegerskioeldia Filipjev, 1916, Crella jaegerskioeldi Alander, 1937, Tetrabothrius jaegerskioeldi Nybelin, 1916, Cylicolaimus jaegerskioeldi Türk, 1903]. As a curious note may be mentioned that his father Gustaf Magnus Leonard Jägerskiöld, 1831-1871, for some time was a Russian naval officer, who in 1859 was stopped by masses of ice at the Pacific coast and awaiting breaking up of the ice, he let his crew construct barracks on the shore. This was the beginning of a small town - attracting people from local tribes, who joined the crew. Initially this town was named Jägerskiöld, but when growing to a city it changed name to Vladivostok, Russian for "Ruler of the East".
