GOODMAN, A. de B.
Published 'Observations on the life history of Scarabaeus' in Trans.SLENHS., 1927, pp.42-47. (MD 1/03)
GOODIER, Rawdon
Did a considerable amount of work on mountain inhabiting species in Wales which was published in Nature in Wales, 11, 1968, pp.57-67, and on leaving the country in 1968 donated 1000 Diptera and Coleoptera, many of which were mentioned in his work, to the NMW. Other specimens bearing his name are in the general collection at Doncaster Museum. Goodier worked for the Nature Conservancy Council where he reached a senior position. (MD 1/03)
GOODFELLOW, Walter
Gave Coleoptera from N.Ecuador and the Philippines to the NHM in 1901 and 1905 (1901/235, 1905/262). Lived in Bournemouth. (MD 1/03)
GOODENOUGH, Samuel
A Doctor. Frequent correspondent with John Curtis who asked him, for example, to 'save insects for me' (although he is not mentioned in G. Ordish, John Curtis, 1974). Probably the Goodenough mentioned by Marsham (1802) p.423, as the captor of Dytiscus humeralis at Ealing. The 24th volume of the Naturalist's Miscellany (1812-1813) is dedicated to him. (MD 1/03)
GODWIN-AUSTEN
A Colonel in the army recorded by Arrow (1917) to have collected Rutelinae in the Khasi Hills, Assam. He sold 530 insects including 10 beetles to the NHM in 1896 (1896/135) the register noting 'There were many more specimens...but they were too much mite eaten to be worth considering'. Jonathan Cooter has pointed out to me that this is probably the same person after whom Mt. Godwin-Austen, now known as K2, the World’s second highest peak, was named. (MD 1/03)
GODMAN, Frederick DuCane
Mainly a Lepidopterist but he is included here as one of the central figures in Victorian entomology and as the owner of extensive Coleoptera collections amassed during his work on the Biologia Centrali-Americanum. Godman was born at Park Hatch, Surrey, the third son of Joseph Godman. Educated at Eton and Trinity College, Cambridge where he met the natural historian Osbert Salvin with whom he was to remain on close terms until Salvin's death in 1898.
GODDARD, Donald George
Born in Leicester. Joined the Saturday morning Natural History Club at Leicester Museum and, encouraged by Ian Evans, then the keeper of Biology, sent in records of Carabidae and Heteroptera at the age of 14. From 1967 to 1970 he studied Biological Sciences at the University of Leicester before joining the British Antarctic Survey as an invertebrate ecologist researching Antarctic soil mites from 1971-77. He spent two years in the South Atlantic at the same time studying for a Ph.D at Leicester University, which he was awarded in 1976.
