Book excerpt: Excerpt from Occasional Papers on Mollusks, Vol. 5: Published by the Department of Mollusks, Museum of Comparative Zoology, Harvard University Cambridge, Massachusetts Addison Emery Verrill, first professor of zoology at Yale University, was one of the leading figures in the third era of American conchology, which William H. Dall called the Stimpsonian Period after William Stimpson (1832-1872). "This period can hardly be said to have been introduced by an epoch-making work, but gradually the old methods were discarded for the new. This meant adopting radical changes in classification and welcoming the theory of evolution with all the light it shed in dark places" (Dall, 1888:97). Stimpson was preparing a manual of the marine invertebrates from Maine to Georgia for the Smithsonian Institution based on the most extensive collection of eastern American invertebrates ever brought together, but it, along with the manuscript, was destroyed in the great Chicago fire of October 1871. Stimpson died the following year, only forty years old. It was Verrill who with the aid of his brother-in-law, Sidney Irving Smith, prepared a more geographically limited, but comprehensive manual, Report upon the Invertebrate Animals of Vineyard Sound and adjacent waters (1873). Verrill was to write extensively on the marine invertebrates of eastern North America based on subsequent collections made by the United States Fish Commission. Many of these works were exclusively on mollusks. Some, like those of Dall, were based on the spoils of Alexander Agassiz' expeditions on the government ships Blake and Albatross which Agassiz undertook at his own expense. When Dall wrote his paper, Some American Conchologists (1888), Stimpson, who was thirteen years his senior, was long dead "cut off early in his career showing more promise than accomplishment," but Dall could hardly have called the period after himself or Verrill, who were very much alive, and among its most accomplished members. Verrill was born on his father's farm on Furlong Mountain in Greenwood, Maine on February 9, 1839, and was named for a close friend of his parents, Nathan Addison Emery, who died from a fall shortly thereafter.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Occasional Papers on Mollusks, Vol. 4: Number 48 to 66 It is with great pleasure that this volume of Occasional Papers on Mollusks is dedicated to Professor Ruth Dixon Turner, Emerita. During over four decades of association with the Department of Mollusks, she has steadily contributed to the field of malacology, frequently made contributions to this series, and steadfastly supported the efforts of staff and students of the Department in their research and scientific endeavors. Professor Turner began her professional career in biology as Assistant Curator of Birds at the New England Museum of Natural History of the Boston Society of Natural History (now the Boston Museum of Science). After completing the degrees of Bachelor of Science and Master of Science, she had a chance meeting with Dr. William J.Clench that led to her becoming interested in mollusks. With his encouragement, she received a Ph.D. from Radcliffe College (Harvard University) in 1954. Unlike Ph.D. candidates in biology today, who are often given their tuition and expenses. Professor Turner had to support herself and do her graduate work while serving as an instructor of biology at Vassar College and as biologist at the William F. Clapp Laboratories in Duxbury, Massachusetts, where she began to study the shipworms or bivalve family Teredinidae and other substrate boring bivalves. In 1946 she became Research Assistant in the Department of Mollusks and has served as Lecturer in Biology, Research Associate, Alexander Agassiz Fellow in Zoology and Oceanography, and since 1976 as Professor of Biology and Curator of Mollusks. Her academic kudos include two honorary Doctor of Science degrees. In 1985, she formally entered retirement status as Professor of Biology, Emerita; but this has not diminished her research activities and she continues to carry on a vigorous program of scientific investigation, contributing significantly to the intellectual and curatorial activities of the Department of Mollusks.

Download or read book The Mollusks written by Charles F. Sturm and published by Universal-Publishers. This book was released on 2006 with total page 445 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mollusks have been important to humans since our earliest days. Initially, when humans were primarily interested in what they could eat or use, mollusks were important as food, ornaments, and materials for tools. Over the centuries, as human knowledge branched out and individuals started to study the world around them, mollusks were important subjects for learning how things worked. In this volume, the editors and contributors have brought together a broad range of topics within the field of malacology. It is our expectation that these topics will be of interest and use to amateur and professional malacologists.
