Guy Anstruther Knox Marshall : ウィキペディア英語版 | Guy Anstruther Knox Marshall Sir Guy Anstruther Knox Marshall (20 December 1871 in Amritsar, Punjab – 8 April 1959 in London), was an Indian-born British entomologist and authority on Curculionidae. == Early Life == Marshall was the youngest of three children born to Colonel Charles Henry Tilson Marshall (1841-1927), a district judge, and Laura Frances Pollock (1846-1912), daughter of Sir Frederick Pollock, 1st Baronet and Chief Baron of the Exchequer.〔(Descendants of Sir Frederick Pollock )〕 Both Guy's father and his uncle, Major-General George Frederick Leycester Marshall (1843-1934), were naturalists who had produced books on the birds and butterflies of India, Burma, and Ceylon. Marshall was sent from India to a school in Margate where he started a butterfly collection. He transferred his attentions to beetles when he enrolled at Charterhouse. When he failed the Indian Civil Service entrance examination, his father shipped him off to Natal in South Africa to learn sheep farming. He ended up in Rhodesia, managing the ''Salisbury District and Estates Company'' and owning two farms, one managed by Swynnerton.
