with slight correction for private circulation from Colonel R. Strachey's 

 forthcoming work on the physical geography of the Northern Himalaya," 

 Calcutta, 1865. The complete work, however, never appeared. The 

 specimens were transferred to the British Museum in 1880; they are 

 accompanied by the old label of the Geological Survey, and many of them 

 bear the collector's number, written on the stone in ink. 



Strzelecki (PAUL EDMUND DE, Count) [1796-1873] 



Strzelecki was a German traveller, who during twelve years explored 

 or visited both North and South America, part of the West Indies, the 

 South Sea Islands, Tasmania, the Javanese Islands, part of China and 

 the East Indies, and Egypt. In 1839, he discovered the existence of 

 gold in the Australian colonies, and is best known by his "Physical 

 Description of New South Wales and Van Diemen's Land," 1845, in 

 which many fossils chiefly of Permo-Carboniferous age were described. 

 He sold his collection of 135 fossils from New South Wales, including 

 those described in his book, to Prof. John Morris, from whom it was 

 bought by the Trustees in 1859. Two of the figured specimens of 

 Sphenopteris are, however, in the Museum of the Geological Society. 



Sturtz (BERNHARD) 



This well-known dealer in minerals and fossils at Bonn, made a special 

 collection of Lower Devonian star-fishes from Bundenbach in connection 

 with his researches published in Palceontographica (1886, 1890). The 

 original collection of 112 specimens was purchased by the Museum from 

 Mr. Sturtz in 1891, while small additions, similarly acquired in 1893 and 

 1900, illustrate his subsequent papers (Verhandl. nat. Ver. Preuss. 

 fiheinland, 1., Ivi.). Each specimen bears a detailed label in Mr. Stiirtz's 

 handwriting, with his name printed on it. 



Sutherland (PETER C.) 



In 1850-51, II.M.SS. Lady Franklin and Sophia, under the command 

 of William Penny, voyaged to Baffin Bay and Barrow Straits in search 

 of the missing crews of H.M.SS. Erebus and Terror, i.e., the Sir John 

 Franklin expedition. Sutherland was surgeon to the expedition. The 

 fossils he collected, with others belonging to Captain Ommanney, Mr. 

 Pickthorne, and Mr. Donnett, were described by J. W. Salter in an 

 appendix to Sutherland's account of the voyage (Vol. ii., pp. ccxvii- 

 ccxxxiii). Sutherland's collection was transferred from the Museum of 

 Practical Geology in 1878.
