Re: paleonet Dates of birth/death for early paleontologists and other biologists

[Lucy Muir <L.Muir@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Michael,

I had a quick look on the library catalogue here at the Natural History Museum, and that gives Willi Hennig's dates as 1913-1976. Unfortunately it doesn't give them for the others. Have you tried the Library of Congress or the British Library catalogues, or similar? They often give dates of birth/death.

Hope you find the rest of what you're looking for

Dear colleagues,
 
    I am looking for years of birth/death for the following researchers:
 
-Eugène Delfortrie (Bordeaux-based French naturalist of the 19th century),
-Max Schlosser (German paleontologist, late 19th-early 20th century),
-Jacob Lawson Wortman (American paleontologist, late 19th-early 20th century),
-Willi Hennig (German entomologist, famous for introducing modern phylogenetic systematics).
 
Published biographies or obituaries would also be of interest.
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance.
