Annie Letitia Massy (29 January 1868 – 17 April 1931[1]) was a self-taught marine biologist, ornithologist, and an internationally recognised expert on molluscs,[2] in particular cephalopods.[3] She was one of the founders of the Irish Society for the Protection of Birds in 1904.[1] Many of the details of her life are unknown which is attributed to the fact that she is often described as a shy and retiring person,[4] with no known photograph of her in existence.[2]
