Katharine Jeannette Bush

Katharine Jeannette Bush (December 30, 1855 – January 19, 1937) was an American zoologist, noteworthy as the first woman to receive a Ph.D. in the sciences from Yale University. Quotes Practically nothing was known of the annelids of the North Pacific coast before Johnson's valuable reports of 1897 and 1901 — the first entitled 'A Preliminary Account of the Marine Annelids of the Pacific Coast,' the other 'The Polychæta of the Puget Sound Region.' This is especially true of Alaska, a few species only having been recorded north of Vancouver Island, British Columbia; therefore the collections made by William Emerson Ritter Dr. William E. Ritter, of the University of California, and Dr. Wesley R. Coe, of Yale University, as members of the Harriman Alaska Expedition of 1899, are of great interest.

They were taken usually from dead coral but occasionally attached to mollusks, forming an irregularly twisted mass. The surface is sometimes ornamented with five conspicuous, longitudinal carinæ, the two outer ones usually the largest. 1907 Descriptions of the two genera of tubicolous annelids, Paravermilia and Pseudovermilia, with species from Bermuda referable to them American Journal of Science 4 134 131–136 https://books.google.com/books?id=CYzd6c4Lr80C&pg=PA132 (quote from p. 132) External links Joseph Adelman, Famous Women: An Outline of Feminine Achievement Through the Ages with Life Stories of Five Hundred Noted Women John L.
