Sea animals collected by Otto Tetens

German astronomer Otto Tetens lived in Samoa between 1902 and 1905 where he worked for the Royal Society of Sciences in Göttingen. During his time in Samoa, he was a collector of ethnographic and natural history objects such as the marine collection shown here. His work is of great ethnographic and historical relevance providing information on the changes of island life over the century.
