BIOGRAPHY. Né le 18 novembre 1887 a Sloats¬burg (N.Y.). Après ses études à l'Université Cornell, il a été successivement assistant d'entomologie et de pathologie végétale à cette même Université, puis zoologiste au New York State Museum, pro¬fesseur-adjoint de biologie à l'Université de Rochester et finalement, en 1933, professeur de zoologie.
Il s'est particulièrement intéressé à la systématique et à la biologie des Reptiles, des Batraciens et des Arachnides. En ce qui concerne les Araignées, il a fait d'importantes révisions de genres, la plupart en collaboration avec CROSBY, et a publié quelques notes sur l'étho¬logie de certaines Araignées.

 

DISCLAIMER — This resource was first intended as for private use of the members of the arachnology lab of Museu Nacional, but later we thought "why not to share this with the world?". Eventually if greedy lawyers (redundance...) start to bother us with copyright matters, etc, we may have to be forced to quit the project and keep this just to ourselves.
