	Obituary: Dame Miriam Rothschild \| Life \| Guardian Unlimited
		Dame Miriam Rothschild, who has died aged 96, may have had little formal education but, without aspiring to academic status, she was so expert in so many fields that she gathered eight honorary doctorates, from Oxford in 1968 to Cambridge in 1999, and a fellowship of the Royal Society (1985).
		Miriam was in many ways like her father, touched by the arrogance of greatness and moulded in childhood by family traditions, as much as by the laws of genetics.
		But Miriam knew that the language of animals is the language of the soul, and this was a language she spoke as fluently as she spoke the cold language of science.

	The Science Show: 26 March 2005 - Vale Miriam Rothschild, 1908 - 2005
		Miriam Rothschild: Well, in my case of course, I was fantastically lucky because I was born into the branch of the family that were really interested in natural history and science.
		Miriam Rothschild: The interesting thing was that these very brightly coloured butterflies, which were obviously disagreeable to the taste of birds, often fed on toxic plants and it had long been thought that they’d probably collected caterpillars to sequester the poisons from the plant and store them in their bodies.
		Rather along the lines of Miriam Rothschild, who’s been such a great pioneer of so many of these things over the years, and at a time when nobody wanted to know she was still determinately going on doing wonderful things, I think, trying to save different species and habitats and so on.

		Dame Miriam Rothschild, who has died aged 96, was a brilliant self-taught amateur and generalist in scientific fields dominated by highly specialised professionals; she was perhaps best-known for her work as a parasitologist, and by the sobriquet "Queen of the Fleas".
		Fuelled by passionate curiosity rather than personal ambition, Miriam Rothschild first came to the notice of her fellow scientists in consequence of her research work, in the 1930s, at the Marine Biological Station, Plymouth, where she studied the mollusc Nucula and its trematode parasites.
		Miriam Rothschild's position as the world authority in her field was confirmed by her Catalogue of the Rothschild Collection of Fleas in the British Museum, Volumes I to VI, which appeared at intervals from 1953 to 1983.

	Rothschild
		The five sons of Mayer Amschel Rothschild were placed on the first rung of the nobility by the Austrian Emperor in 1817.
		Those members of the family living in Frankfurt and Vienna were thus known as von Rothschild, whereas the Paris, and later the Naples, branches of the family adapted this to the French style 'de' - James de Rothschild, and so on.
		Thereafter in England, descendants of Lord Rothschild have not used the suffix - Miriam Rothschild, for example - whereas descendants of the first Lord Rothschild's brothers have continued to use 'de' - Edmund de Rothschild, for example.

	Parasite Lover - New York Times
		Miriam Rothschild lived the 96 years of her life by the minute, and in the minutiae.
		She loved them, lived for them - a passion acquired from her father, Charles Rothschild, a banker who collected and discovered some 30,000 species of flea in his lifetime, including the chief carrier of bubonic plague.
		Instead, she was raised in a Doctor Doolittle setting dominated by her famously eccentric uncle, Walter, the second Lord Rothschild, whose animal collection came to include (in addition to fleas) some 250,000 butterflies and moths, 300,000 bird skins, 200,000 birds' eggs and 144 giant tortoises, which he housed in his own museum.

		With a parent so dedicated to the natural world, it was hardly surprising that Miriam should follow in her father's footsteps.
