Adolf Bernhard Meyer
Adolf Bernhard Meyer (11 October 1840, Hamburg – 22 August 1911, Dresden) was a German anthropologist, ornithologist, entomologist, and herpetologist.
Biography
Meyer was educated at the universities of Göttingen, Vienna, Zürich and Berlin. He became director of the Anthropological and Ethnographic Museum in Dresden in 1874 and continued in that position until his retirement in 1905. He travelled in the East Indies at the end of the nineteenth century.
The brown sicklebill (Epimachus meyeri) was named after him when the species was discovered in 1884. He published a classification of birds, among them the Carola's parotia (Parotia carolae), the Stephanie's astrapia (Astrapia stephaniae), the red-capped flowerpecker (Dicaeum geelvinkianum), and the takahe (Porphyrio hochstetteri).
In addition to birds he made a study on primates. He gave the binomial name Tarsius sangirensis to the Sangihe tarsier, a small primate found in Indonesia in 1897.
Meyer's East Indies bird collection and beetles and butterflies collected in Celebes and New Guinea are in Staatliches Museum für Tierkunde Dresden.
1574 Meyer
1574 Meyer, provisional designation 1949 FD, is a dark, carbonaceous asteroid from the outer region of the asteroid belt, about 59 kilometers in diameter. It was discovered by French astronomer Louis Boyer at the Algerian Algiers Observatory in northern Africa, on 22 March 1949.
The C-type asteroid orbits the Sun at a distance of 3.4–3.7 AU once every 6 years and 8 months (2,435 days). Its orbit shows an eccentricity of 0.04 and is tilted by 14 degrees to the plane of the ecliptic. It has a rotation period of 12.6 hours and a low albedo of 0.030–0.04, as observed by the space-based Akari and WISE missions.
The asteroid was named after French astronomer M. Georges Meyer (b.1894), director of the discovering Algiers Observatory.
