Coleman Jett "Coly" Goin
editThis subspecies of turtle was described by Roger Conant and Coleman J. Goin. There is a WP article for Conant but none for Goin. Goin and his wife, Olive Bown Goin, made important contributions to herpetology, including writing a textbook of herpetology in 1971. Perhaps someone could write a WP article about "Coly" and Olive.74.109.236.194 (talk) 17:59, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
