Conrad Gessner (1516-1565), Swiss naturalist. Gessner compiled a comprehensive survey (Historiae animalium) of the animal kingdom, presenting known facts, rather than myths. Gessner also wrote a book on fossils. He died of the plague in 1565. At the time, he was trying to compile a survey of the plant kingdom. (KEYSTONE/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY/SHEILA TERRY)
