Abstract
ABSTRACTHans Heinrich Suter-Naef (1841–1918) arrived in New Zealand from Switzerland with his wife Ida and seven children on New Year’s Eve 1887. He saw New Zealand as a place of scientific opportunity and planned to make a life and a living from his knowledge and expertise in malacology. He made connections with Hutton, Hector, Cheeseman, Colenso and others in an attempt to gain a foothold in the scientific community and find employment to support his family. Suter spent his life in New Zealand balancing the competing demands of warding off poverty and indulging his passion for science. His eventual success was as a result of his many personal attributes, the support of other science workers, and his wife Ida.
