Robert Lloyd Praeger (1865 1953) was an Irish naturalist, writer and librarian. Her was instrumental in developing advanced methodologies in Irish botany by inviting Knud Jessen, the acclaimed Danish expert in Glacial and Post-Glacial flora, to undertake research and teaching in Ireland. This was to lead to the establishment of 'paleoecology' as a distinct field of study in Ireland. Praeger planned The Lambay Island Survey in 1909 and contributed "90 new species to the Irish flora and fauna"; five of these "species were new to science." (from Wikipedia). Seller Inventory # 87477
