Abstract
Mary Lodder was born in England in 1853. Mary, along with her parents and two siblings, arrived in Tasmania in 1875. Mary remained at home with her parents after her siblings married.
The collection and classifications of shells was a hobby and ‘respectable pursuit’ for many Victorian ladies. Mary possessed great expertise not only as a collector, but in her grasp of taxonomic recording, ensuring her own collections were meticulously researched, labelled and later placed in public institutions.
