Trevelyan (Sir JOHN) 



^ Agassiz, in " Recherches sur les Poissons Fossiles," writes, " a 

 Wailington, le musee de Sir John Trevelyan m'a paru tres remarquable ; il 

 contient surtout une collection magnifique de coquilles et d'echinodermes." 

 The Museum was inherited by his son, Sir Walter Calverley Trevelyan 

 (<J-v.\ but it is interesting to note here that a lower molar of Elephas 

 primigenius from St. Audrie's, Somersetshire, mentioned by Sir John in 

 a note to Dean Buckland (Proc. Geol. Soc., 1842), was presented by 

 Mr. Spencer George Perceval in 1902. 



Trevelyan (Sir WALTER CALVERLEY) [1797-1879] 



The son of Sir John Trevelyan, the fifth baronet, of Nettlecombe, 

 Somersetshire, and Wailington, Northumberland, Trevelyan early turned 

 to geology, and the Geological Society published papers by him from 

 1829 to 1846. In the latter year, he succeeded to the title and to his 

 father's museum at Wailington, which he extended. It contained "a 

 good series of British and Italian fossils, valuable collections. of minerals 

 and recent shells, a good series of Ethnological specimens, together with 

 a general Natural History collection of objects, most of which he had 

 himself obtained during his travels." He bequeathed to the British 

 Museum a valuable series of fossils comprising: a type-specimen of 

 Amblypterus nemopterus, Agassiz ("Poissons Fossiles") and other fish 

 remains of Carboniferous age ; specimens of Cephalaspis tyelli from 

 Forfarshire; a large series of vertebrate remains from Kent's Hole, 

 Torquay ; coal-plants from Burdie House ; various invertebrata from the 

 Carboniferous and Magnesian Limestones; and Miocene shells from 

 Italy. Other museums that benefited by his liberality in the matter of 

 fossils were the Museum of Practical Geology and the Oxford Museum.
