Robert Boog Watson
Robert Boog Watson FRSE (26 September 1823 – 23 June 1910) was a Scottish malacologist and minister of the Free Church of Scotland best known as the author of the report on the Scaphopoda and Gastropoda collected during the H.M.S.

Profundisepta Profundi
''Profundisepta profundi'' is a species of sea snail, a marine gastropod mollusk in the family (biology), family Fissurellidae, the keyhole limpets. Description The shell size varies between 3 mm and 6 mm, and features a hole at or near the top of the shell. The height of the shell is shorter than its width and a Sculpture (mollusc), sculpture of granular riblets radiate from the apex, both of which help distinguish the species from the related ''Profundisepta alicei, P. alicei'', which has a smooth shell taller than it is wide.''The Mollusca of Galicia Bank'', p. 30 Mosquera et al. (1981) and Mosquera (1983) misidentified a ''Puncturella agger'' specimen as belonging to this species (then called ''Puncturella profundi'').''The Mollusca of Galicia Bank'', p. 35 While ''P. agger'' shares the radial rows of granules with ''Profundisepta profundi'', it is distinct in that there is a slit, rather than a hole, near the top of the shell, stretching from the apex to the ant ...

Mattheus Marinus Schepman
Mattheus Marinus Schepman (17 August 1847 – 19 November 1919) was a Dutch people, Dutch malacologist. He was one of the foremost collectors of mollusc shells in the Netherlands, and was also high on the overall list of European collectors. Dutch collectors developed an interest in natural history specimens that were collected on worldwide expeditions since the 16th century. An interest in conchology led to numerous shell publications. In 1934 the Nederlandse Malacologische Vereniging (Netherlands Malacological Society) was founded. In commemoration of its 75th anniversary, a book honoring in detail the work of Mattheus Schepman was published. His research Schepman was both a collector and a methodical scientist, which combination "made his collection of great value to the entire malacological community." He was given the opportunity to study a collection by Max Carl Wilhelm Weber, Director of the Zoological Museum Amsterdam, Zoölogisch Museum Amsterdam (ZMA). Many of the speci ...

William Healey Dall
William Healey Dall (August 21, 1845 – March 27, 1927) was an American naturalist, a prominent malacologist, and one of the earliest scientific explorers of interior Alaska. He described many mollusks of the Pacific Northwest of America, and was for many years America's preeminent authority on living and fossil mollusks. Dall also made substantial contributions to ornithology, zoology, physical and cultural anthropology, oceanography and paleontology. In addition he carried out meteorological observations in Alaska for the Smithsonian Institution. Biography Early life Dall was born in Boston, Massachusetts. His father Charles Henry Appleton Dall, (1816–86), a Unitarian minister, moved in 1855 to India as a missionary.

Genus
Genus ( plural genera ) is a taxonomic rank used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms as well as viruses. In the hierarchy of biological classification, genus comes above species and below family. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus. :E.g. '' Panthera leo'' (lion) and '' Panthera onca'' (jaguar) are two species within the genus ''Panthera''. ''Panthera'' is a genus within the family Felidae. The composition of a genus is determined by taxonomists. The standards for genus classification are not strictly codified, so different authorities often produce different classifications for genera. There are some general practices used, however, including the idea that a newly defined genus should fulfill these three criteria to be descriptively useful: # monophyly – all descendants of an ancestral taxon are grouped together (i.e. phylogenetic analysis should c ...
