Ward (JOHN) 



Resident at Longton, Staffordshire, Mr. Ward has been occupied for 

 forty years in collecting the fossils, especially fishes and labyrinthodonts, 

 of the North Staffordshire Coalfield. He has always noted the exact 

 horizons of his specimens with special care ; and all are marked with a 

 white oblong label, partly printed and bearing his name, with particulars 

 added in his own clear handwriting. A set of 1072 selected fossils, 

 comprising many type-specimens and other specimens described by 

 Egerton, John Young, and Traquair, was purchased by the Trustees in 

 1894. Another and smaller selection was subsequently purchased by the 

 Edinburgh Museum of Science and Art.

 made a large donation of 778 specimens of various kinds from all parts 

 of the world. Among them may be mentioned a fine palate and mandible, 

 with the milk-dentition, of Elephas primigenius, together with other 

 vertebrate remains, from the Pleistocene of Ilford, and numerous vertebrate

Weston (JOSEPH) 



For many years a resident of Fenton, Staffordshire, Mr. Weston made 

 a small but valuable collection of fossil fishes from the North Staffordshire 

 Coalfield. The specimens were well labelled in his own handwriting, the 

 labels being miscellaneous scraps of white paper. The whole collection, 

 consisting of 200 vertebrate remains and 100 invertebrates and plants, was 

 purchased in 1891. 



Wetherell (NATHANIEL THOMAS) [1800-1875] 



Being in medical practice at Highgate, Wetherell was attracted by 

 the excavations for Highgate Archway, and made a large collection of 

 the London Clay fossils from that and other localities in the north of 

 London. As a member of the London (Jlay Club and a founder of the 

 Palasontographical Society, many of his specimens were figured in the 

 publications of the latter body. He also collected fossils from the Glacial 

 Drift of Finchley and Muswell Hill, and this collection is now in the
