This attachment explains that Francis was a Manx Man. It talks about some stamps that the IOM produced which included a tribute to Francis.

Also, I made an error in my initial comments. Francis was hired as an apprentice in taxidermy in 1891 at the museum and then later in 1904 becamse curator of the Museum. I can't find any info on his death which is odd when he contributed so very much to BC.

There is also a Mount Kermode here in BC, also named after Francis Kermode

Elevation, 1060+ meters asl., outline (polygon) 920 meters high.
Southwest of New Clew
British Columbia, Canada

You can find it on google etc.

I wonder if the Francis you found is our BC Francis? I'll do some more digging later.

Thank you for not scolding me for putting this on, I sometimes don't always understand what is appropriate and what is not. Glad you found this interesting as I did.

Kind regards

Sue
