'''(Michael Rogers) Oldfield Thomas''' [[Fellow of the Royal Society|FRS]] (February 21, 1858 – June 16, 1929) was a [[United Kingdom|British]] [[zoologist]].
Thomas worked at the [[Natural History Museum]] on [[mammal]]s, describing about 2,000 new [[species]] and sub-species for the first time. He was appointed to the Museum Secretary's office in 1876, transferring to the Zoological Department in 1878. In 1891 Thomas married an heiress to a small fortune, which gave him the finances to hire mammal collectors and present their specimens to the museum. In 1896 when [[William Henry Flower]] took control of the Department he hired [[Richard Lydekker]] to rearrange the exhibitions,<ref>''The Natural History Museum at South Kensington'', William T. Stearn ISBN 0-434-73600-7</ref> allowing Thomas to concentrate on these new specimens.<ref>Oldfield Thomas, ''Catalogue of the [[Marsupialia]] and [[Monotremata]] in the Collection of the British Museum (Natural History) Dept of Zoology'' (1888), Taylor and Francis, London [http://books.google.com/books?vid=OCLC00283454&id=F39J5lMIKrEC&pg=PT57&lpg=PT57&dq=%22oldfield+thomas%22&num=20&as_brr=1#PPR1,M1 ''Catalogue of the Marsupialia...'' full text] retrieved 3/21/2007</ref>
