Early life and education

Collinge was born in Huddersfield. He undertook his first degree at Leeds University before becoming a demonstrator in zoology at the University of St Andrews in 1891.[4]

Career

Collinge was a lecturer in zoology and comparative anatomy at Birmingham University when it was founded in 1900.[4] He was director of the Cooper Research Laboratory and edited the first volume of its journal in 1909.[5] From 1915–1919 he returned to St. Andrew's as the Carnegie Research Fellow at the Gatty Marine Laboratory.[4] He became Keeper of the Yorkshire Museum in March 1921 and stayed in this post until his retirement in March 1941.[2][4][6] During his tenure at the Yorkshire Museum, Collinge devoted much of his academic attention to the economic aspects of ornithology.[3]

Collinge was a member of many learned societies. He was a member of the British Numismatic Society,[7] a 'foreign member' of the American Association of Economic Entomologists, Honorary Fellow of the Royal Horticultural Society, joint secretary of the Association of Economic Biologists,[8] and a member of the British Ornithologists' Union.[3] He was a fellow of the Royal Entomological Society, the Linnean Society and the Society of Antiquaries of London, and had served as president of the Conchological Society of Great Britain and Ireland.[4]

Binominal authority

Collinge identified several species as new to science,Note 1 including Arion flagellus,[9] Cryptosemelus gracilis,[10] and Microparmarion pollonerai.[11]

Two species are named in honour of Collinge, Clanculus collingei and Streptaxis collingei.[12]
