Lot Essay

Reginald Innes Pocock F.R.S. (1863-1947) was a British zoologist. In 1885 he became an assistant at the National History Museum where he became the recognised authority on Arachnida and Myriapoda before being appointed a superintendent at the London Zoo in 1904. He is credited as first describing the leopon, the hybrid offspring of a male leopard and a female lion, in a letter to The Field in 1912.
