Exton (HUGH) 



Presented fossil Fishes from the Stormberg Beds of South Africa, 

 namely, Semionotus capensis in 1883, and Cleithrolepis extoni in 1888 ; 

 also a unique specimen of Procolophon trigoniceps from the Karoo For- 

 mation in 1892. 



Falconer (HUGH) [1808-1865] 



To our knowledge of the fossil Mammalia, Falconer published 

 important contributions, which were collected in his " Palseontological 

 Memoirs," edited by Charles Murchison in 1868. In 1830 to 1855 he 

 was on Government service in India, and co-operated with Col. Cautley 

 (q.v.) and others in collecting and describing the fossil mammals of that 

 country. In 1842, when he came to England on sick leave, he brought 

 with him valuable collections, most of which he presented to the India 

 House and to the British Museum, devoting much time to their study 

 and arrangement in the latter institution. He also placed a few speci- 

 mens in the museum of the Geological Society. On his final return to 

 Europe, after his retirement, he travelled much in pursuit of his 

 researches, and amassed a small collection of mammalian remains, which 

 was presented to the British Museum in 1867 by his executor, Mr. 

 Charles Falconer. This collection included a few Indian fossils, and a 

 large series of remains of Hippopotamus from caverns near Palermo, 

 Sicily. 



Peilden (HENRY WEMYSS) [1838- ] 



Col. Feilden was naturalist to the Alert and Discovery Arctic 

 exploring expedition in 1875-6 under Sir George Nares, to whose 

 narrative of the voyage he contributed Appendices relating to ethnology, 

 Mammalia, ornithology, and, with C. E. de Ranee, an appendix " On the 

 Geological Structure of the Coasts of Grinnell Land and Hall Basin," as 

 well as a separate paper on the " Geology of the Coasts of the Arctic 

 Lands visited by the Expedition" (Quart. Journ. Geol. Soc., 1878). The 

 Palaeozoic fossils collected during the expedition were described by Mr. R. 

 Etheridge, Senior (torn, cit.), while the fossils of Miocene age, collected 

 by Messrs. Feilden and Moss (a surgeon to the expedition) from Dis- 

 covery Bay, were sent to Prof. 0. Heer of Zurich for determination. 

 Mr. Etheridge says : " The series collected by Captain Feilden are all so 

 carefully noted, labelled, and localised, that their history is complete and 

 satisfactory." The collection was presented to the Museum by the Lords 

 of the Treasury in December, 1878.
