abstract

An essay about a researcher who made a significant contribution to the formation of zoological collections and faunal research in Zhytomyr and Kyiv zoological centres. Yuriy Prozhyha collected numerous specimens of mammals, birds, and insects in various locations, primarily in the vicinity of Zhytomyr and several districts of Zhytomyr region (1914–1922, 1929–1932), as well as in Kyiv (1928) and Uzbekistan (1929). His mammal collections include 116 osteological specimens housed in the Paleontological Department of NMNH, NAS of Ukraine. He also wrote two articles on beavers (1928, 1929) and a book on plant protection from pests (1931).
