Taxacom: Barnes - collector of zoological & natural history specimens in Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

[Deborah Paul]

Greetings Priyantha,

See also "Barnes" in Bionomia.net (does taxacom let you see the 
screenshot below)?
I see

Charles Reid Barnes
Helen Barnes
Edith Barnes
Edward Barnes
Burton Verne Barnes
Richard Barnes
Horace Francis Barnes
William Barnes
Bertie Frank Barnes

Some metadata there (what objects they collected and date ranges) may  
help you figure out "which" Barnes is yours.



Good luck!
Debbie

Unfortunately, I don't have anything more, even years active, but probably late 19th century or early 20th century.
