In “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?”
Very interestingly, Sean (in the role famously portrayed on film by George Segal) plays “a biology professor”.

The Travel Channel just aired a show (“101 Sand & Surf Hotspots”) featuring a segment on the history of Errol’s invention of the bamboo boat riding industry, something that as become quite an attraction, on various rivers around the island. A couple of excellent photos also.

G. Errolae, G. Norae & G. Zacae

Professor Flynn is reported to have identified what may have been perhaps dozens of possible new species of marine life on the “Cruise of the Zaca” in 1946. Three of these were said to have been named G. Errolae, G. Norae & G. Zacae, after his loving son, his lovely daughter-in-law, and, of course, the majestic vessel on which he sailed, the Zaca.
Here is some data on Leuckartiara Zacae, discovered and named in 1940, when Zaca still belonged to Templeton Crocker.
Does anyone know anything regarding any formal registrations of G. Errolae, G. Norae & G. Zacae, or any of the other marine life discoveries made during “Cruise of the Zaca”?

…I hope this works. I ran across this set of Adventures of Robin Hood lobby cards on tumblr this morning and just had to share. They look hand-colored to me. Apologies if they have been posted before, I looked back through the library a bit but didn’t see them.
