 of a " Catalogue of Western Scottish Fossils." " His private collection was 

 one of the best illustrations of the palaeontology of the Glasgow area, and 

 is now preserved in the Museum of Science and Art, Edinburgh, while a 

 small part is in the cabinet of Dr. Hunter of Carluke, Lanarkshire [now 

 in Kilmarnock Museum] " (Geol. Mag., 1893, p. 94). A portion, how- 

 ever, consisting of 282 Carboniferous fossils, was transferred to the 

 British Museum in 1884, through Prof. T. C. Archer, Director of the 

 Edinburgh Museum. In 1880 the Trustees bought, through the dealer, 

 E. W. Janson, 252 specimens of Scottish Carboniferous Ostracoda col- 

 lected by Armstrong.

Astier was a Professor at the College of Grasse (Var), and author of a 

 " Catalogue descriptif des Ancyloceras appartenant a 1'etage neocomien 

 d'Escragnolles et des Basses-Alpes " (1851). In 1853 the Trustees bought 

 from him 1323 specimens of Cephalopoda from the Jurassic and Cre- 

 taceous strata of the Basses Alpes, representing 543 species, many being 

 specimens figured in the above-mentioned work and by A. d'Orbigny in 

 the " Paleontologie francaise." They are accompanied by oblong paper 

 labels in Astier's own hand, with a border of printed ornament.

Kesident at Grahamstown, Cape Colony, Atherstone had his attention 

 directed by A. G. Bain (q.v.) to the Fossil Reptiles of the Karoo For- 

 mation. Of these he found many important specimens, and in 1872 and 

 1876 sent to the British Museum valuable donations, described in Owen's 

 "Catalogue of Fossil Reptiles of South Africa" (1876). He also dis- 

 covered a Pala?oniscid Fish (Atherstonia scutata) of which he presented 

 the type-specimen to the British Museum in 1884. As one of the 

 founders of the Albany Museum, Grahamstown, he enriched it with part 

 of his collection.
