Peter Cameron (entomologist)
Peter Cameron (1847 – 1 December 1912 in New Mills, Derbyshire) was an England, English amateur entomologist who specialised in Hymenoptera. An artist, Cameron worked in the dye industry and in Calico (textile), calico printing. He described many new species; his collection, including Type (biology), type material, is now in the Natural History Museum, London, Natural History Museum. He suffered from poor health and lack of employment. Latterly, he lived in New Mills and was supported by scholarships from the Royal Society. He loaned specimens to Jean-Jacques Kieffer, a teacher and Catholic priest in Bitche, Lorraine, who also named species after Cameron. Some of Cameron's taxonomic work is not very well regarded. Upon his death Claude Morley wrote, "Peter Cameron is dead, as was announced by most of the halfpenny papers on December 4th. What can we say of his life? Nothing; for it concerns us in no way. What shall we say of his work? Much, for it is entirely ours, and w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
