Saull (WILLIAM DEVONSHIRE) 



A merchant in the City of London, Saull accumulated at 15, Aldersgate 

 Street a remarkable collection of fossils and antiquities, spoken of by 

 Mantell as "his interesting museum, to which visitors are, with great 

 liberality, admitted every Thursday at twelve" ("Geol. I. of W.," 

 Ed. iii., p. 232; 1854). The owner himself personally conducted the 

 visitors, and such was his zeal for popular education that he left the 

 collection with all his money to a body of trustees so that it might be 

 kept for the public. Th.- trustees founded the Metropolitan Institution 

 in Cleveland Street, Fitzroy Square, and transferred the collection thither, 

 packed up in wine-hampers. In those hampers it remained, while the 

 money was devoted to carrying on a school, which gradually became 

 little more than a pla< e of evening amusement for the young men and 

 women employed at large shops in the neighbourhood. The collection 

 proving a difficulty, the trustees decided to sell it, and were engaged in 

 so doing in 1863, when Mr. John Calvert took the remaining seven 

 van-loads off their hands. The British Museum had already selected 

 and paid for such specim- ns as could be seen to be still of value in the 

 lamentable state to which the collection had been reduced. Among the 

 200 fossils thus acquired were the sacrum of the Iguanodon and other 

 specimens figured in Owen's "British Fossil Eeptiles" (Palasontogr. Soc.), 

 also a krge number ot Invertebrata named and labelled by James 

 So\verby, and supposed to include some of the type-specimens of his 

 " Mineral Conchology " ; their identification, however, is doubtful. 



Savin (ALFRED C.) 



Mr. Savin, a resident of Cromer, made a large collection of vertebrate 

 remains, chiefly mammalian, from the Forest Bed Series of the Norfolk 

 Coast. The bones bear numbers in white paint, corresponding with the 

 exact records of their discovery entered in Mr. Savin's MS. Catalogue. 

 The collection is described l>y Mr. E. T. Newton in "Vertebrata of the 

 Forest Bed Series" (1882) and "Vertebrata of the Pliocene Deposits of 

 Britain" (1891), published by the Geological Survey. It also afforded 

 material for description by Pio;s. Leith Adams and Ray Lankester. The 

 whole series of 1898 fossils was purchased by the Trustees in 1897.
