Cyrus Richard CROSBY


Birthdate: January 9, 1879

Birthplace: Penn Yan, NY

Died: January 11, 1937, Rochester, NY

BIOGRAPHY: Né le 9 janvier 1879 au village de Penn Yan (New York); mort subitement le 11 janvier 1937 à Rochester (N.Y.). II fit ses études à Keuka College, puis à l'Université Cornell et fut nommé assistant d'entomologie à l'Université de Missouri; eu 1906, il revient à Cornell et fut successivement assistant, professeur-adjoint et professeur d'entomologie. Voyageur et excursionist infatigable, d'une humeur joyeuse et cordiale, homme d'excellents conseils, sa compagnie était très recherchée.
Quoique spécialisé dans l'étude des Insectes et particulièrement de l'entomologie agricole, il était avant tout naturaliste. C'est en com¬pagnie du professeur Comstock qu'il prit quelque intérêt à l'étude des Araignées, étude pour laquelle il se passionna par la suite; les micro-araignées de son pays retinrent principalement son attention et sa patience; il a publié sur elles de nombreuses études, la plupart en collaboration avec le professeur Bishop.

Eventually if greedy lawyers (redundance...) start to bother us with copyright matters, etc, we may have to be forced to quit the project and keep this just to ourselves.
