Late Mr. Meek
Letter to the Editor THE death of Mr. J. S. Meek, on October 1, 1943, in a Sydney hos pital, was reported in November
“Pim.”
Can any of your readers enlighten me about the relationship between the late Mr. Meek and the late Mr. G. Eich horn? .They were partners for many years in butterfly and bird collecting for the London Tring Museum.
Mr. G. Eichhorn was my next-door neighbour for 10 years in NG (living within three miles of my house). He met a tragic death in the Sepik revolt, 1942 (see “PIM” of February and June, 1943).
Information of any kind concerning the relationship between these pioneers of New Guinea, or the address of their relatives, is of great importance, and would be highly appreciated.
I am, etc.,
I. Schwab.
