obtained. His collection was mentioned in Dixon's "Geology of Sussex" 

 (1850). Besides the beautifully-prepared Chalk fossils, especially fishes, 

 Harford accumulated a few specimens from other formations, some of 

 them valuable. The greater part of the collection, numbering 1108 

 specimens, was purchased from him in 1888. In the same year he 

 presented to the Museum the type-specimen of Tfirissops portlandicus, 

 A. S. Woodw., from the Portland Stone; and in 1889 he handed over 

 to the Trustees the residue of his collection as a donation, to be used 

 partly for distribution as duplicates to other museums. 



Harlan (RICHARD) 



Presented plaster casts of North American Trilobites, 1834. 



Harmsworth (ALFRED) 



Presented duplicates from a collection of Jurassic fossils from Franz 

 Josef Land, 1899. 



Harris (GEORGE FREDERICK) 



Collected and presented Oligocene and Miocene Mollusca from 

 Bordeaux, 1894. 



Harris (WILLIAM) [1797-1877] 



Harris collected fossils in the Chalk pits near Chaiinpr, Kent, especially 

 from a detritus of Danian age. He lent and presented specimens to 

 several palaeontologists engaged in research, notably Toulmin Smith, 

 W. C. Williamson, and Prof. T. Rupert Jones. A selection of about 

 240 specimens from the collection left at his death, was purchased by the 

 Museum from his daughter in 1881. It comprised Ichthyosaurian 

 remains figured in Dixon's "Geology of Sussex," various fish-remains, 

 Brachiopoda described by Davidson, and Foraminifera and Entomostraca 

 described by Prof. Eupert Jones. 



Harrison (JAMES) 



Collected fossils from the Lower Lias of Lyme Regis and Charmouth 

 and prepared the skeleton of Scdidosaurus harrisoni, purchased 1861, 1865. 



Harrison & Hodgson (Messrs.) 



Presented Mammalian remains from a submerged forest at Jarrow, 

 Newcastle-on-Tyne, 1857. 



Hartmann (C. H.)

Hastings (BARBARA, Marchioness of) [1810-1858] 



Barbara, Baroness Grey de Ruthyn, married (1) the second Marquis 

 of Hastings (d. 1844) ; and (2) Commodore Hastings (afterwards Admiral 

 Sir Hastings) R. Yelverton, G.C.B. (d. 1878). With the aid of Mr. Henry 

 Keeping, she collected fossil Vertebrata, chiefly Mammalia, from the 

 Eocene and Oligocene of Hordwell (Hampshire) and the Isle of Wight. 

 She also acquired specimens for comparison from Montmartre, Allier, and 

 the Mayence Basin. The collection included several specimens described 

 by Owen, and many unique fossils described by later authors. The 

 greater part of it was purchased by the Museum from the Marchioness in 

 1855, and a few additional specimens were purchased at her sale at 

 Stevens' rooms in the same year.
