Beebe, (Charles) William

(1877–1962) oceanographer, ornithologist; born in Brooklyn, N.Y. He was curator of ornithology for the New York Zoological Park (Bronx Zoo) (1899) and director of the N.Y. Zoological Society's Department of Tropical Research (1899–1962). Of his many books on tropical birds, he is renowned for his monographs on pheasants in Borneo. He made his record-breaking 3,028-foot descent off Bermuda with bathysphere designer Otis Barton (1934). He later abandoned deep dives as having "little scientific value," and concentrated on studying marine wildlife in shallower waters.
