Richmond, Charles Wallace1868-1932 Parents Edward Leslie and Josephine Ellen Richmond (nee Henry).eldest son.Taught by William Brewster to prepare skins.Member of the Appleton Club, which meets yearly in Washington.(from Mathews obit in Ibis 1932 p.691-3.)The Smithsonian biography reads:
Richmond's scientific work dealt largely with problems of ornithological nomenclature in which he was recognized as an international authority. One of Richmond's greatest contributions to the field was his card catalog of generic and specific names of birds which was consulted by ornithologists all over the world." Richmond's Index remains a vital source of bibliographic and nomenclatural information.Richmond's plans for publishing the work were frustrated by the outbreak of WWI (the intended publiserswere German) and the work was never published in his lifetime. Broader availability was made possibleby the microfiche publication late in 1992.Regarding the Index, Dickinson states (Zoological Bibliography2 (2 & 3) p.78 note 2.) "But depiction of such evidence was beyond the scope of the indexcards which were not intended for publication." The evidence Dickinson uses to make thisassertion are apparently beyond the scope of his own publication. They contradict the referencesRichmond makes in his letters to Witmer Stone regarding his frustrated progress towards publishingthe Index.
