Buy (WILLIAM) 



Buy was a labouring man who lived at Chippenham, Wilts, and 

 collected fossils in the neighbourhood, especially the wonderfully pre- 

 served Cephalopoda from the Oxford Clay of the Great Western Railway 

 cutting at Christian Malford. His collection was made use of by 

 J. Morris in preparing his " Catalogue of British Fossils " (1854). In 

 describing a "very fine belemnite" in the Museum (S. puzosianus), 

 Mantell tells his readers that it was " collected by Mr. Buy . . . who is 

 well known for his skill and sagacity in discovering and developing 

 fossils of this kind " (" Petrifactions and their Teachings," p. 458 ; 1851). 

 The Museum made several purchases from him between the years 1846 

 and 1863.
