"Frederick John Jackson, an English administrator,
explorer and ornithologist. He joined the British Ornithologists'
Union in 1888. W. L. Sclater became Director of the South African
Museum at Cape Town, where he wrote most of what had been
Stark's "Birds of South Africa." From 1909 he worked at the
British Museum, specializing on African birds.
On the death of Sir Frederick Jackson, he was asked to
complete the unfinished 'Birds of Kenya Colony and the Uganda
Protectorate', by which he will be most generally known in
East Africa. In his unobtrusive way he contributed a great deal to
this book as he had to Stark's."
