Stanley Henry Prater
Stanley Henry Prater (12 March 1890 – 12 October 1960) was a British naturalist in India best known as a long-time affiliate of the Bombay Natural History Society and the Prince of Wales Museum of Western India, Bombay, as curator of both institutions for the better part of three decades, and as author of the enduring classic ''The Book of Indian Animals''. Prater represented the Anglo-Indian community in the Indian Constituent Assembly in 1948.〔Ali, Salim. 1960. "Stanley Henry Prater." ''Journal of the Bombay Natural History Society'', 57(3):637-642.〕
==Early life==
Prater was born in the Nilgiris (southern India) where his father, William Prater, was a coffee planter. As a student of St Mary's High School, Bombay, he spent his school holidays in the Western Ghats—experiences that led to a burgeoning interest in natural history. He joined the Bombay Natural History Society (BNHS) in 1907. Prater developed his intimate knowledge of the mammals of the Indian subcontinent during the Society's Mammal Survey (1911–1923), during which he was also grievously wounded when he was accidentally shot in the thigh.
