This Day In History

1887 S. Stillman Berry (1887 - 1984) was born on this day. He was a US malacologist interested in cephalopods, chitons and land snails; the published version of his doctoral dissertation, Cephalopoda, is still considered the definitive study of Pacific cephalopods. Although he was only a professional academic for five years, as a librarian and research assistant at the Scripps Institution for Biological Research, he went on to become a renowned malacologist, describing 401 mollusc taxa and publishing 209 articles.
Berry is honoured in the name of a squid genus, Berryteuthis, and in the names of a number species under berryi and stillmani.
