Charles Henry O'Donoghue

Charles Henry O'Donoghue (1885–1961) was an English zoologist who studied molluscs, a malacologist. His publications mostly deal with sea slugs and he also named a number of Bryozoans. During his lifetime he was professor of zoology at the University of Reading, Berkshire.^[1]

He taught in Winnipeg, Canada; and Edinburgh. Most of the species he described were from the Pacific north-west of Canada.
