John Gwyn Jeffreys
John Gwyn Jeffreys FRS (18 January 1809 – 21 January 1885) was a British conchologist and malacologist. Biography John Gwyn Jeffreys was born on 18 January 1809, at Swansea, Wales. He was the eldest son of J. Jeffreys of Fynone, Glamorgan. Jeffreys was educated in Swansea at the Bishop Gore School (Swansea Grammar School). From the age of seventeen, he was an apprentice to one of the principal solicitors of Swansea, before going to London, where he qualified as a barrister in 1838. Jeffreys worked as a solicitor in Swansea until 1856, when he was called to the bar in London. But his greater passion was for conchology. He was not satisfied simply to form a collection, but was interested in all aspects of the biology of molluscs. On 2 April 1840 he became a Fellow of the Royal Society. On 21 June that year he married Ann Nevill at Llangennech. They had a son and four daughters; and were the grandparents of the physicist, Henry Gwyn Jeffreys Moseley. In 1866 Jeffreys retired ...

Idas Simpsoni
'' Idas simpsoni'', previously known as ''Adipicola simpsoni'', is a species of saltwater clam, a marine bivalve mollusc in the family Mytilidae, the mussels. It is a deepwater species and is only found attached to the bones of dead whales. History In 1900, some fishermen trawling the seabed between the Hebrides and the Shetland Islands brought to the surface part of a whale skull to which was attached about twenty bivalve molluscs. They passed their find to James Jenkins Simpson, a shell collector in Aberdeen, and he sent them on to the conchologist James Thomas Marshall. Marshall determined that the molluscs were new to science, and formally described them, naming the new species ''Myrina simpsoni''. Apart from one specimen which was found inside a baulk of drifting pinewood, all specimens seen since then have been associated with the skeletons of dead whales, making this mollusc the first known species with such a restrictive habitat requirement. The species has since been tr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
