 Chrono-Biographical Sketch: Philip Lutley Sclater
A well known and highly productive (over 1400 publications) ornithologist in his own day, Sclater is remembered today primarily for his 1858 paper setting out the faunal regions classification of zoogeography later adopted by Alfred Russel Wallace.
The system is still in common use today.
Sclater worked on other natural history subjects (especially mammals) as well, but it should not be forgotten that he also had an impressive professional and administrative career, undoubtedly aided by his early training for (and practice of) the law.

Meanwhile, in England, rumors of the strange jungle beast reached the ears of Philip Lutley Sclater, Secretary of the Zoological Society of London at the time.
Johnston later provided Sclater with two pieces of Okapi skin bearing stripes, supporting the theory that the Okapi was a zebra, but he couldn’t explain the strange, two-toed tracks he found because zebras walk on just one toe.
Sclater thought the tracks had been made by another animal, perhaps an antelope.
