Hildegarde Beatrice Hinde


Hildegarde Beatrice Hinde was a British anthropologist. She and her husband, Sidney Langford Hinde, were in the Congo from 1891 to 1894, and in the East African Protectorate from 1895 to 1915. She wrote several grammars and vocabularies of East African languages. Three species of small African mammal were named in her honour by Oldfield Thomas; these were Hildegarde's tomb bat, Hildegarde's broad-headed mouse and Hildegarde's shrew.
