Historique
George Albert Boulenger was a Belgian-British zoologist who described and gave scientific names to over 2,000 new animal species, chiefly fish, reptiles and amphibians. In 1880 he was invited to work at the Natural History Museum, then a department of the British Museum, and assigned to the task of cataloguing the amphibians in the collection. He was also an active botanist during the last 30 years of his life, especially in the study of roses. His son, Edward George Boulenger, was also a zoologist and held the post of Director at the ZSL London Zoo Aquarium
