Grej je rukovodio zoološkim odelenjem Britanskog muzeja u Londonu od 1840. do kraja 1874. godine, pre nego što je prirodnjačka zbirka izdvojena i predata Prirodnjačkom muzeju. Izdao je nekoliko kataloga muzejskih zbirki, u kojima je detaljno pisao o višim taksonima životinja i opisivao nove vrste. Zahvaljujući njemu, zbirke engleskih prirodnjačkih muzeja su među najboljima u svetu.

Biografija uredi

Rođen je u Volsolu, ali se njegova porodica ubrzo preselila u London, gde je studirao medicinu. Pomagao je svom ocu u pisanju dela "The Natural Arrangement of British Plants" (1821). Nakon što je Lineovo društvo Londona, odbilo da ga primi u članstvo, preusmerio je svoja interesovanja sa botanike na zoologiju.[1] I ranije je kao 15-o godišnji dečak pokazao interesovanje za zoologiju, kada je za Britanski muzej prikupljao insekte. Zaposlio se u zoološkom odeljenju Britanskog muzeja 1824. kada je učestvovao u katalogizaciji zbirke gmizavaca, zajedno sa Džordžom Džonom Čildrenom. Od Džordža Džona Čildrena je 1840. preuzeo rukovođenje odeljenjem i na toj poziciji se zadržao 35 godina. U ovom periodu objavio je preko 1.000 naučnih radova. Grej je odgovoran za imenovanje velikog broja vrsta, rodova, potporodica i porodica životinja.[2]

Sarađivao je sa istaknatim prirodnjačkim umetnikom Bendžaminom Voterhausom Hokinsom u pisanju dela "Gleanings from the Menagerie at Knowsley", opisavši vrste koje su živele u „Nouzli Holu“ kraj Liverpula, privatnom posedu erla od Darbija.

Oženio se 1826. Marijom Emom Grej. Njegova supruga je dala svoj doprinos u naučnom radu, pre svega svojim crtežima. Grej je 1833. osnovao organizaciju koja je kasnije postala Kraljevsko entomološko društvo Londona.

Sahranjen je u Bogorodičnoj crkvi u Luišamu. U njegovu čast indijska barska čaplja je dobila naučni (latinski) naziv Ardeola grayii.

Prvi filatelista uredi

Grej se interesovao i za poštanske marke. Istog dana kada je puštena u prodaju prva marka u svetu 1. maja 1840, nazvana „Crni peni“, Grej je kupio nekoliko primeraka sa namerom da ih čuva u svojoj zbirci. Na ovaj način postao je prvi filatelista u istoriji.
