Dr. Zbigniew (Bob) Kabata, (Mar. - Jaremicze) 1924-, copepodologist born in Poland, where he was a highly decorated officer in the Polish underground. When the Soviets took over after WWII, he fled through Italy (with the Free-Polish forces) to Scotland and became a commercial fisherman and deck-hand. He studied to enter the University of Aberdeen, doing so and graduating with honors in 1955. He began to work for Scotland's Marine Laboratory in Aberdeen - where T. & A. Scott (q.v.) had been, continuing his studies and receiving the PhD in 1959. The University conferred the DSc on him in 1966. At that time, he was recruited to the Fisheries Research Board of Canada (now Fisheries and Oceans Canada) for the Pacific Biological Station in Nanaimo (where he remains). Poland awarded him their highest honor for an emigre, equivalent to a knighthood, at an impressive ceremony in Montreal. His Ray Society Monograph "Parasitic copepoda of British fishes" in 1979 is well-known [Kudoa kabatai Schulman & Kovaleva in Kovaleva, Schulman & Yakovlev ,1979, Bobkabata kabatabobbus Hogans & Benz, 1990, Lepeophtheirus kabatai Ho & Dojiri, 1977, possibly Boreotrophon kabati McLean, 1995, Parallorchestes kabatai Bousfield & Hendrycks, 2002].

Engelbert Kaempfer, (16 Sep. - Lemgo) 1651-1716 (2 Nov. - Lieme), German physician and travelling naturalist, who had migrated to Sweden after studies of medicine and natural history in Gdansk, Krakow and Königsberg and left for Asia with a Swedish trade mission directed to Russia and Persia. He went on to Batavia (Java) and then Japan, where he lived between 1690-92 and wrote a book about the history (and natural history) of Japan [Poecilasma kaempferi Darwin, 1851, Macrocheira kaempferi (Temminck, 1836) - (this rather deep living crab is the largest arthropod of our planet with a leg span of almost 4 meters)].

Professor Alfred Kaestner, (17 May) 1901-71 (3 Jan.), German zoologist, born in (and PhD in) Leipzig, who wrote "Lehrbuch der Speziellen Zoologie".

Alfred Detlef Fritz Kahl, (18 Feb. - Warwerort (around 80 km NE of Hamburg)) 1877-1946 (20? Nov.), German renowned specialist on ciliates, who had started his career in Hamburg as a primary school teacher between 1897 to 1901 and later a Gymnasium teacher (English, French and natural history) and also married there, resulting in a daughter, Lucia. He began to publish about ciliates in 1926 (after having begun studying such creatures in 1924), when he was almost 50 years old, after having been fascinated by ciliates when his daughter brought home literature from her teacher Reichenow (q.v.). As he simultaneously worked as a teacher, he did not co-publish anything with colleagues - of which he had some good contacts, e.g. Bresslau and Penard, but also some colleagus, who did not not like his "splitting", e.g. Wetzel and to a certain degree Postel - except for one paper, Jörgensen & Kahl, 1932, but worked solely at home with his microscope. Nothing is known for sure about the parents and childhood of this outstanding biologist.

Lady Katharine Jane Douglas, (4 Jan.) 1817-63 (30 Sep.); Lady Katharine Wigram (married 1849, to Loftus Tottenham Wigram). Descendant of William Douglas, 1st Earl of Selkirk. The British Museum has numerous specimens donated by Lady Douglas/Wigram, including some of the earliest shells collected from Oregon, USA. A NE Pacific chiton species was named in her honor, Katharina tunicata (Wood, 1815), and this genus name Katharina Gray, 1847 was described by the person responsible for mollusks at the museum at that time. (The specific name tunicata is of cause referring to the wide mantle around the foot and the word tunica itself was coined by the influential Umbrian comedy author Titus Maccius Plautus, around 254-184 b.C., who made it from an anagram of the semitic word kituna for underwear (cf. the Greek word chiton, which originally meant an undershirt), at that time used for a body-coat without sleeves made from wool; several expressions has survided through Plautus, e.g. "summa summarum").

Dr. Adriaan Jan Keij (sometimes spelled Key), 19??-, published in 1957 the monograph "Eocene and Oligocene Ostracoda of Belgium". With its wealth of information and the excellent drawings presented on 23 plates it was outstanding in quality and formed a kind of a milestone in the research on Tertiary ostracods. Between 1953 and 1979 some 20 additional studies on living and Cenozoic Ostracoda were authored by A. J. Keij. He was graduated from the University of Utrecht. Most of the later years he was working as a micropalaeontologist with the Royal Dutch/Shell oil company. He retired in 1984 to live in Rijswijk, the Netherlands. He has been honoured through the naming of many ostracod taxa, as for instance the genera Keijella (Ruggieri,1967) Doruk,1973, Keijia Teeter, 1975, Keijcyoidea Malz, 1981, and Keijicythere Kozur, 1985, as well as the species Ambocythere keiji van den Bold, 1958, Bythocypris keiji van den Bold, 1963, Chrysocythere keiji Jain, 1978, Cluthia keiji Neale, 1975, Cuneocythere keiji Guha & Shukla, 1974, Cytherelloidea keiji McKenzie, 1967, Cytheretta keiji Scheremeta, 1969, Eucytherura keiji Pietrzeniuk, 1969, Leptocythere keiji Hartmann, 1978, Mutilus keiji Ruggieri, 1962, Triebelina keiji Colin & Lauverjat, 1978, Havanardia keiji Maddocks, 1986, Neomonoceratina keiji Szczechura, 1989, Neonesidea keiji McKenzie & al., 1979, Baltraella keiji Yassini & Jones, 1995, Paijenborchella keiji Shyam-Sunder & al., 1995, Bairdia keyi van Hinte,1962, Cythereis keyi Kingma, 1948, Cytheromorpha keyi Ducasse, 1967 and Krithe keyi Breman, 1978.

Randolph Kirkpatrick,1863-1950, British spongiologist, cnidariologist and bryozoologist. He was assistant keeper of lower invertebrates at the British Museum (Natural History) from 1886 until his retirement in 1927. He published a limited number, but fine, papers on sponges from Antarctica and the Indian Ocean. However, his most significant work was done on Merlia, a coralline sponge, i.e. a thinly encrusting sponge secreting a coral-like limestone skeleton. Kirkpatrick was the first to correctly interpret these enigmatic sponges, but his work was ignored until the 1960's when Hartman and Goreau rediscovered the coralline sponges. Kirkpatrick published on his own account some very strange ideas about the history of life on earth (see for a popular account Stephen Jay Gould's story "Crazy Old Randolph Kirkpatrick" in the "The Panda's Thumb" (1980), and this may have been one of the reasons why his important work on the coralline sponges was dismissed by his contemporaries. He also collected sand containing the mollusc Pickworthia kirkpatricki Iredale,1917 (now in genus Sansonia Jousseaume, 1892) [Amphiastrella kirkpatricki Dendy, 1924, Kirkpatrickia Topsent, 1912, Fangophilina kirkpatricki Lendenfeld, 1906, Hexadella kirkpatricki Burton, 1926, Homoeodictya kirkpatricki Topsent, 1916, Oceanapia kirkpatricki Hentschel, 1914].

Johan Koren, (6 July - Bergen) 1809-85 (3 Oct. - Bergen), Norwegian military physician and zoologist, from 1846 the first curator at the Bergen Museum. He became interested in botany during his studies and took part in botanical collection tours together with Blytt (q.v.) and later also in zoology and had already in 1844 published three works together with von Düben (q.v.), but when von Düben left Bergen, he had to find another person to cooperate with and this person was mainly Danielssen (q.v.). His accuracy contrasted with that of his more impulsive cowriter Danielssen, who founded many species descriptions on varieties of one and the same species. From 1850 and the next 22 years Koren also became a teacher in natural sciences in a school in Bergen and one of Koren's most well-known disciples was Herman Friele (q.v.). He had married in 1850 to a two years younger lady, but of course the were too old to get own children, but her wife had an 18 years old son from before, so he became a foster father. During the last three years of his life, he had bad health and had planned to retire in the beginning of 1886, but died a few months before.

The ctenophore name Ctenoplana korotneffi Willey, 1896 and the gymnamoeba names Korotnevella Goodkov, 1988 and Hyalodiscus korotnewi Mereschkowsky, 1879 must honour the author of the ctenophore genus from 1886, i.e. Alexei Alexeievich Korotn(y)ev or Korotneff, (Moscow) 1852-1914, PhD in Zoology at Moscow Univ. in 1881, and from 1886-1912 professor in Kiev. In 1912 he published on Baical Sea planarians and earlier had published several articles about embryology in different kinds of salps. He had visited Villefranche for collecting marine animals several times (first time in 1874 in company with his teacher Prof. Anatoly Petrovich Bogdanov, 1834-96, a Darwinist from the Moscow State Univ.) before 1884, when the Russian marine station there was founded by him. It was situated close to where J.H. Barrois (q.v.) earlier had his French laboratory and Korotneff became the first Director and principially also its owner, because he invested most of the money himself. When going to an almost one year long expedition to the Duch Indies, he had asked J. Barrois and. H. Fol to manage the laboratory, bet when returning Barrois and Fol had taken over intending to possibly sell it, but they had to move to Nice, where they continued until Fol's deat on the expedition in 1892. The Station continued to develop thanks to financial help Korotneff succeded to get and visiting scientists, e.g. Carl Vogt and from 1995 Korotneff was helped from his vice Director Mikhail Davidoff (and that year Korotneff also purchased Uljanin's (q.v.) large private book collection for the station's library). He wanted the Station to be under the jurisdiction of the Russian government and was supported much in these thougths by Schewiakoff (q.v.). Later well known Russian scientific guests at the station included Kowalewsky, Mereschkowsky, Schimkevitsch, Rimsky-Korsakov, Ostroumoff and others.

Parthenope was the name of several women figures in the Greek mythology, but in Parthenopea Kossmann, 1874, the author is certainly referring to the siren who drowned. She was cast ashore and became buried at Napoli, which then got it's second name Parthenope. The Heidelberg Prof. of Zoology Robby August Kossmann, (22 Nov.) 1849-1907 (29 Sep.), namely worked on his crustaceans at the Stazione Zoologica at Napoli and has probably a bit unjust been more reputed for his controversies with the founder of the station, Anton Dohrn (q.v.), than for his own research. Kossmann was born in Danzig (at that time belonging to Germany) , studied natural history at several universities in Germany, achieving his PhD in Heidelberg in 1871, and became Privatdocent (lecturer) there two years later and extraordinary professor there in 1877. He did not only collect in Naples, but also undertook collecting excursions to Suez and Eritrea in 1874-75, himself most interested in crustacean and fishes and had stayed in Napili in Nov. 1872, but continued his studies in Messina during next spring, but later worked in 1874, in 1880-81, in 1883 at the Zoological Station, Napoli. However, maybe due to these controversies, he left zoology and began studying medicine, achieving his MD in 1892 and opened a gynaecology practice in Berlin two years later. He lived in this city until he died [Portunion kossmanni (Giard & Bonnier, 1886), Lecanurius kossmannianus Humes, 1968, Synstellicola kossmanni (Humes & Ho, 1967), Heteromysis kossmanni Nouvel, 1964].

Henrik Nikolaj Krøyer, (22 Mar. - København) 1799-1870 (14 Feb.), Danish marine zoologist; he was mainly interested in crustaceans, which partly were depicted by his student (later Professopr) Jørgen Matthias Christian Schiødte, (20 Apr. - Christianshavn) 1815-1884 (22 Apr. - København, who after the decaese of Krøyer took over the publishing of the journal "Naturhistorisk Tidsskrift", which Krøyer had founded, partly by Henrik's young foster son Peder Severin Krøyer, (23 July) 1851-1909 (21 Nov.), (who was born in Stavanger, Norway by Henrik's mentally instable sister-in-law) and who later on became e renowned painter in the Skagen circle. Actually H. Krøyer had been taught Latin and Greek and when he was young and filled with idealism he vagabonded southwards in Europe in order to voluntary enlist the Greek war against the Turks. However, he changed his mind, when he found that the Greeks of his time did not live up to his Hellenic ideals, but instead he became fascinated by the animal life in the Mediterranean Sea. This was the starting point of a very productive life regarding collecting and publishing, albeit after 1845 his life was embittered and his productivity declined when he at the appointment of a professorship had been ignored for the benefit of the 14 years younger Steenstrup (q. v). Krøyer had become interested in natural history when working as teacher in Stavanger between 1827-30 and began tu study this subject after returning to København (Copenhagen). Helped by a grant arranged by the Government officer Jonas C. Collin, 1776-1861, (q.v.) at the Ministry of Agriculture (not to be confused with his grandson, the zoologist Jonas Sigismund Collin, 1840-1905 (q.v.)), Krøyer and his newly married young Norwegian wife surveyed the Danish coasts in an open boat during 1834-35. Later Krøyer made extensive collecting voyages to N Norway, Spitsbergen, Madeira, South America, North America and the coasts of N Europe and received much organisms from different areas of the sea through several cooperative travelers [Spiophanes kroeyeri Grube, 1860, Kroeyera Bate, 1855, Kroeyeria van Beneden, 1853, Kroeyerina Wilson, 1932, Calicotyle kroyeri Diesing, 1850, Notoscopelus kroeyerii (Malm, 1861), Centropages kroeyeri Giesbrecht, 1892, Labidocera kroeyeri (Brady, 1883), Lernanthropus kroyeri van Beneden, 1851, Vanbenedenia kroeyeri Malm, 1860, Munna kroyeri Goodsir, 1842, Siphonoecetes kroeyeranus Bate, 1856, Monoculodes kroeyeri Boeck, 1871, Laonome kroeyeri Malmgren, 1866, Ophiocten kroeyeri Lütken, 1855, Colus kroeyeri (Möller, 1842), Paramysis kroyeri (Czerniavsky, 1882), Pseudolirius kroeyerii (Haller, 1879), Trichotropis kroyeri Philippi, 1848] {Krøyer photo}.
