Edwards (FREDERICK ERASMUS) [1799-1875] 



As a member of the London Clay Club and a founder of the Palseontc- 

 graphical Society, Edwards devoted himself to the study of the British 

 Eocene Mollusca. Beginning with the London Clay in 1835, he extended 

 his researches over the Eocene strata of Sussex, Hampshire, and the Isle 

 of Wight, where, assisted by Mr. H. Keeping, he made the most complete 

 collection ever attempted by any geologist. He described his specimens 

 in the London Geological Journal (1847), the Geologist (1860), the 

 Geological Magazine (1865), and above all, in the Monographs of the 

 Paljeontographical Society (Vols. for 1848, 1852, 1854, 1855, 1858), the 

 work being continued by S. V. Wood (Vols. for 1859, 1862, 1870, and 

 1877). The first connection of Edwards with the British Museum was 

 the purchase of some Cetacean remains from the Suffolk Crag from him in 

 1851. In 1863 he presented remains of Eyopotamus from the Isle of 

 Wight Oligocene. In 1867 there was purchased from him a large series 

 of Tertiary plants and invertebrates from various British localities, 

 including cirripedes, figured by Sowerby and Darwin, corals figured bv 

 Edwards and Haime (Monogr. Palxont. Soc., 1850), Serpula figured by 

 Sowerby, also Tertiary molluscs from Germany and the Vienna basin. 

 The Mollusca from Vienna were named and labelled by Dr. Hoernes.
