	Latham Hotels
		Latham was born in Ashcroft, a suburb of southwestern Sydney in New South Wales.
		Latham's term as mayor saw radical changes introduced to the council, with large spending on public works, to be paid for by a combination of loans and efficiencies achieved from "outsourcing" many council services.
		Latham was placed in the new 4th District in the north-central part of the state, retaining only a small portion of his old district.

		This foundation was laid by the joint labours of Francis Willughby (1635-1672) and John Ray (1628-1705), for it is impossible to separate their share of work in natural history more than to say that, while the former more especially devoted himself to zoology, botany was the favourite pursuit of the latter.
		The several accounts by John White, Collins, Phillips, Hunter and others of the colonization of New South Wales at the end of the last century ought not to be overlooked by any Australian ornithologist.

	Emeu - LoveToKnow Watches
		The type of the Casuariidae is the species named by Linnaeus Struthio casuarius and by John Latham Casuarius emeu.
		Of the emeus (as the word is now restricted) the best known is the Casuarius novae-hollandiae of John Latham, made by Vieillot the type of his genus Dromaeus, 2 whence the name of the family (Dromaeidae) is taken.
		It is said to have existed also on the islands of Bass Straits and in Tasmania, but it has been exterminated in both, without, so far as is known, any ornithologist having had the opportunity of determining whether the race inhabiting those localities was specifically identical with that of the mainland or distinct.

	John A Latham (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		He was a prominent figure in the formation of the Linnean Society in 1789 and a close associate of the leading scientific figures of his day, including Sir Joseph Banks, Thomas Pennant and Sir Ashton Lever, with whom he swapped specimens and reports of the latest ornithological discoveries.
		During Latham’s long lifetime there poured in upon him countless new discoveries from all parts of the world, but especially from the newly-explored shores of Australia and the islands of the Pacific Ocean.
		The German edition of Lathams A General Synopsis of Birds (London 1781-1785), Allgemeine Ubersicht der Vogel was published from 1792-1812 in Nuremberg in 4 volumes, was edited by J. Bechstein and included 183 hand-colored engravings.

	Ornithology Collections in the Libraries at Cornell University: A Descriptive Guide
		John Latham's A general synopsis of birds (1781-1785), in three volumes plus one of plates, contained extensive new data from expedition reports, especially from Captain Cook's second and third voyages.
		In 1790 Latham issued a two-volume summary of the General synopsis, entitled Index ornithologicus, in which he Latinized all his earlier names, probably in deference to the appearance in 1788 of the thirteenth edition of Linnaeus''s Systema naturae.
		Bewick was not an ornithologist but an artist and craftsman who developed the art of wood engraving to a high point.

	The Pacific Golden-Plover (Pluvialis Fulva): Discovery of the Species and Other Historical Notes
		Meanwhile, John Latham was writing the General Syn- opsis of Birds (1781-1801) and incorporated therein most of Forster's findings.
		Latham's (1785) remark that "our last voyagers" ob- served plovers "at Owhyhee" was evidently based on Ellis' 1779 records (Medway 1981).
		Since the context of Latham's comment had to do with golden-plovers in general, he apparently was unaware that his "Ful- vous Plover" from Tahiti and the plover in Hawaii were of the same species.

	The 1880s
		Latham was probably an early "woman's liberationist" with her independent and strong-willed manner, her daughter, Queenie, was a mild mannered, sweet girl, according to Mrs.
		Latham was the owner and proprietor of a place called Oak Lodge, in the Mullet Creek area south of Floridana Beach, around the years 1888 through 1910.
		Latham, a "damnyankee" who came down to run a lodge that catered to scientists and naturalists from the north, was way ahead of her time.

	Hordern House web catalogue
		John Christian's library, which included about 550 volumes, is seen to have been dominated by works in the category of 'History, Lives, Novels etc.', with as yet few books on agriculture, in which Christian/Curwen, later founder of the Agricultural Society, was later to take such an interest.
		The catalogue is accompanied by a single leaf titled on the verso "Mr John Christian's Account from February to August 1772", receipted at the foot by Humphry Christian, and an original photographic reproduction of the Christian family memorial plaque erected at Milntown in 1922, setting out the family lineage from 1380 to 1904.
		Latham was certainly the right man at the right place and time to monopolise the description and depiction of the newly-discovered Australian species.

	Long Island History: He Was a Natural in His Field
		The farmer's name was Roy Latham, and his address for all of his 98 years was a modest potato farm in Orient on the North Fork.
		In a 1994 article in the scientific journal Mycotaxon (it's all about fungi, one of Latham's many specialties), Dirig called the potato farmer a "natural history genius." "Roy was a brilliant person who might have been a college professor or museum curator, but he chose the simplicity and beauty of a rural existence," Dirig wrote.
		One of Latham's three daughters, Diana Latham, who lives on the family property near Orient Point, said that her father would work in the fields from 7 a.m.

		John Le Conte earned a degree in medicine and practiced briefly, but soon after dedicated his life to teaching chemistry and physics.

		He was the first ornithologist to spend any length of time in the state and his papers are the most important of the early publications on the birds of California.
		The ornithologist is interested in Pike not merely from the circumstance that a Tern from Monterey, now known to.have been an Arctic Tern, was named $terna p/kei, but on aCCount of his other activities, especially in connection with the intro- duction of the English Sparrow.
		Sir John Richardson's connection with the birds of California rests primarily on the description of several species with Swainson in their report on the 'birds of the Franklin Expedition in the "Fauna Boreall-Americana," 1831-.

	Emu - The real meaning from Timesharetalk wikipedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		The species was named by ornithologist John Latham, who collaborated on Phillp's book and provided the first descriptions of and names for many Australian bird species; its name is Latin for "fast-footed New Hollander".
		The etymology of the common name Emu is uncertain, but is thought to have come from an Arabic word for large bird that was later used by Portuguese explorers to describe the related Cassowary in New Guinea.
		In John Gould's Handbook to the Birds of Australia, first published in 1865, he laments the loss of the Emu from Tasmania, where it had become rare and has since become extinct; he notes that Emus were no longer common in the vicinity of Sydney and proposes that the species be given protected status.
