	The UnMuseum - The Coelacanth
		It was imperative that Smith go in person to examine the specimen If he announced to the public that a live coelacanth had been discovered he would be the laughing stock of the ichthyological world if he was wrong.
		Smith, with the help of his wife, worked hard for four months to complete a scientific paper announcing the remarkable discovery to the world in June of 1939.
		Smith thought that the home grounds of the creature might be north near the Mozambique channel, so he had posters printed up in English, French and Portuguese with a drawing of the Coelacanth.

	Fishy Facts: The Coelacanth
		JLB Smith, born in 1897 at Graff-Reinet, was a self-taught ichthyologist who had published several papers on the marine fishes of South Africa.
		At his last meeting with the Smiths, he had asked Margerat what he should do in case he found a coelacanth, as there were no refrigeration facilities in the Comoros, and she told him the only thing he could do was to preserve it in salt.
		It was JLB Smith who warned 25 years ago that the unrestricted catching of coelacanths may threaten their survival, and he proposed that an international society should be formed to protect them.

		Smith was also a self-taught ichthyologist and had already published several papers on the marine fishes of South Africa.
		Smith immediately wired Miss Latimer to preserve the viscera and the skeleton at all costs and also telegraphed Dr K H Barnard of the South African Museum in Cape Town with a request to forward a volume dealing with the Crossopterygii.
		Smith asked the South African government for its assistance in retrieving the specimen and the prime minister, Dr D F Malan, promised to arrange for a military aircraft to transport Smith to the Comoros.

		Smith at that time was at his holiday home in Knysna, marking examination papers.
		Smith immediately did two things: he wired Miss Latimer to preserve the viscera and the skeleton at all costs and also telegraphed Dr K H Barnard of the South African Museum in Cape Town with a request to forward a volume dealing with the Crossopterygii.
		When Smith learnt that the fish was being mounted, he felt there was no longer any urgency in examining the fish and that he could safely apply himself to his examination commitments until he had the opportunity to visit East London.

		Smith identified the stuffed fish as a coelacanth, named it Latimeria chalumnae in honour of the woman who "saved it for science", and then devoted his life to finding a second, more complete, specimen.
		Along with the accolades Smith received from around the world came a torrent of abuse from Christian fundamentalists, who found his talk of "millions of years" preposterous when he should have known God made the world in 4026BC.
		When, in 1952, Smith received word that a second coelacanth had been caught in the Comores, he approached Prime Minister D F Malan for help getting his hands on it.

		J.L.B. Smith became quite obsessed with the fish, to which he gave the Latin name Latimer chalumnae; Latimer after Miss Latimer, and chalumnae after the river it was discovered by.
		In 1952, the Comoro Islands belonged to the French, who laid claim to Smith's second specimen; all subsequent specimens caught over the next 15 years were the exclusive domain of French scientists.
		J.L.B. Smith warned that over fishing could threaten this species; that scientist's own curiosity could lead to taking too many specimens, as was the case with the ivory-billed woodpecker.

		Nevertheless Miss Latimer wrote to Smith on 4 January 1939 to say that "There was no skeleton and that the backbone was a column of soft white gristle-like material, running from skull to tail – this was an inch across and filled with oil – which spouted out as cut through – …".
		In her letter, Miss Latimer also notified Smith that the specimen was being mounted and that the taxidermist was coping quite well in spite of the copious quantity of oil that seeped from the skin of the animal.
		From February to June 1939 JLB Smith and his young wife, Margaret, who also became an renowned ichthyologist in her own right, worked furiously on the first scientific paper describing the coelacanth, completing it just four days before the birth of their son, William.

		Latimer describes how she waited for expert James Leonard Brierley Smith to arrive to corroborate the identification.
		Smith authored a book about the coelacanth titled Old Fourlegs but surprisingly little information on the coelacanth is woven into Living Fossil.
		The interviews with both Latimer and Smith's son are more theatric than scientific and the informative segments with a research scientist do not redeem the film.

		Smith named the fish Latimeria chalumnae in honor of Marjorie Courtenay-Latimer and the waters in which it was found.
		Fourteen years later, one specimen found in the Comoros, but the fish was no stranger to the locals -- in the port of Mutsamudu on the Comorian island of Anjouap, the Comorians were puzzled to be so rewarded for a gombessa or mame, an inferior, nearly inedible fish that their fishermen occasionally caught by mistake.

		She was eager to preserve the fish and, having no facilities at the museum, took it to the morgue—which wouldn't have the thing.
		Courtenay-Latimer tried to contact James Leonard Brierley Smith, a friend who taught at Rhodes University, to help her identify it, but he was away.
		When Smith finally arrived on February 16, 1939, he instantly recognized the fish as a coelacanth.

		Er wusste, dass der Coelacanthus mit seinen knöchernen Flossen, die ihm den Namen "Quastenflosser" eingetragen hatten, als "missing link" galt, als das Bindeglied zwischen Fischen und Vierfüßlern aus dem Zeitalter, in dem sich das Leben aus dem Meer aufs Festland ausdehnte und die Flossenstümpfe sich nach und nach in Füße verwandelten.
