Having began this sequence with discovering out who Miss Waldron was, I shall finish it with a request.
I’ve come throughout no images of Fannie Waldron nor of any that she took, apart from the few proven in Willoughby Lowe’s e book. Does anyone have images or know in the event that they nonetheless exist?
Robert William Hayman in his paper which named the monkey for Miss Waldron, states that she retained two skins of the African Golden Cat (now Caracal aurata), one of many gray (from Mampong) and one of many purple (from Goaso) color morphs. I winder what occurred to them.
Hayman additionally noticed a Gambian Solar Squirrel (Heliosciurus gambianus) from Pong, Tamale, within the north of what’s now Ghana. That was introduced again alive and saved by Fannie Waldron. I’m wondering if anyone who labored for Fannie Waldron left tales of her conserving animals that she introduced again?
Lastly, having accomplished two accumulating journeys with Willoughby Lowe why did she not keep on, maybe hooked up to a different collector? Lowe, because the final chapter masking the 1933-34 and 1934-35 expeditions in his e book, The Finish of the Path, exhibits had actually reached the top of the path. Did she attempt? Or was two a sufficiency?
I simply finish this sequence of articles, as so many others, with many unanswered questions.
