CitationAssistant (First Class) in the Zoological Department, British Museum. Distinguished for his knowledge of Herpetology. Author of the Catalogues of Batrachia (2 vols, 1882); of Lizards (3 vols, 1885-1887); of Chelonians and Crocodiles (1889). In these volumes, which are the standard works for the study of these animals, all the species known are described, their systematic arrangement being based on a critical examination of the more recent researches into their anatomical structure and geographical distribution. He is also the author of a volume of the 'Fauna of India and Burma,' which is devoted to the Reptiles and Batrachians ; and of a great number of memoirs and papers published in the Transactions and Proceedings of the Linnean and Zoological Societies, the Geological Magazine, Annali del Museo Civico di Genova, and others. From 1880 to 1890 he has prepared the annual reports on Reptiles, Batrachians, and Fishes for the Zoological Record.
