Thomas Henry Potts

Thomas Henry Potts (December 23, 1824–July 27, 1888) was a British-born New Zealand naturalist, ornithologist, entomologist, and botanist.

The son of a small arms manufacturer, he emigrated to New Zealand in 1854, and recorded many natural observations as well as species that were then new to science, such as the Black-billed Gull and the Great Spotted Kiwi.
