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

[Peter Uetz]

Hi Debbie,

This is great … but: how can we narrow down searches, e.g. to perfect matches?
Is there an advanced search?
Searching for "Richard Hawksworth Barnes” gives hundreds of hits??

Thanks,

Peter

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