Which John Garth?

Who's the John Garth being memorialised here?--Wetman (talk) 21:34, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

I had been meaning to cover that, but I haven't been able to get hold of the original (sub-)genus description, where it might be stated. The required reference is:

• Michael Türkay (1970). "Die Gercarcinidae Amerikas, mit einem Anhang uber Ucides Rathbun (Crustacea: Decapoda)". Senckenbergiana biologica (in German). 51: 333–354.

I would assume that it honours John Shrader Garth (1909–1993), described on Hans Hansson's invaluable listing as "US crab (and butterfly) specialist. He actually started his career as a musician, but following as such on one of Alan Hancock's expeditions with one of Hancock's Velero yachts - (Hancock actually hired musicians for the cruises), Garth became so impressed with life in the sea, so he changed direction and became a zoologist instead." I would say there's a biographical article just waiting to be written on Garth. --Stemonitis (talk) 21:46, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
