Clark, Hubert Lyman (United States 1870-1947)
invertebrate zoology

Clark's career took an unexpected turn when as a young man he lost his hearing after coming down with yellow fever during a field expedition. Teaching becoming difficult, he re-oriented himself toward museum work and made a considerable success for himself as the curator of echinoderms at the Museum of Comparative Zoology, Harvard. Clark was an all-around zoologist; in addition to publishing over one hundred papers on echinoderms, he also wrote on a variety of aspects of the natural history of birds, reptiles and amphibians, and spent considerable time in the field in Australia, Jamaica, Japan, Tobago, Bermuda, and the Galapagos Islands.
