August Kappel (1840–1915)

I would like to express my thanks to all those who have helped me in the preparation of this article, in particular my mother, Mrs K. Brett, for supplying information about the Kirby family; my cousin, Johanna Meyer, for information about the Kappel family; my son, Geoffrey Dommett, for his computer expertise; and Gina Douglas, librarian, for making available to me the archives of the Linnean Society.
