František Bayer

František Bayer (15 June 1854 – 5 April 1936) was a Czech zoologist, paleontologist and teacher. He taught at secondary schools before becoming director of the Jiráskovo Gymnasium in Prague. In his spare time he worked on the Cretaceous vertebrates of the region. He specialized in the fishes although he also described birds, amphibians and reptiles. The taxonomic affinities of some of the taxa he described have since been redetermined. He also took an interest in music, both composing and writing about music. Provided by Wikipedia
