Johann August Ludwig Preiss (1811-1883) was a German naturalist mainly interested in plant collection, but he made extensive collections of natural history specimens of all kinds. In the course of his activities he visited from 1838 to 1841 most of the known parts of southwestern Australia and several islands off the coast. Most of his zoological collection was sold to various European museums, or dealers of natural history specimens.
