Fig. 16. Gareth Nelson, who chaired an administratively merged Department of Herpetology and Ichthyology from July 1, 1987, through June 1993. Nelson was the second ichthyologist to head a combined department, reminiscent of his predecessor of yore, Bashford Dean (fig. 2). Herpetology and Ichthyology were again separated in 1997.
