  • Эдгар Равенсвуд Уэйт (5 мая 1866 — 19 января 1928) — британский и австралийский биолог, зоолог, ихтиолог, орнитолог и герпетолог. Много работал в музеях. Являлся участником ряда экспедиций, в том числе на антарктические острова (1907) и во внутренние районы Австралии. В 1926 посетил и изучил музеи Старого и Нового Света, среди прочего, побывав в Нью-Йорке. На Новой Гвинее заразился малярией и до конца жизни страдал от расстроенного здоровья. Занимал значимые академические посты. Был весьма разносторонним человеком — кроме биологии, увлекался музыкой и лингвистикой, рисовал и был хорошим фотографом, используя все эти навыки в своей работе музейного куратора. Скончался во время научной конференции в Хобарте. У Уэйта остались вдова и сын. В честь учёного названа австралийская слепая змея Ramp (ru)
