Wood (SEARLES VALENTINE, Junior) [1830-1884] 



The son of the former, he continued his work and collection, and was 

 corresponding with reference to the final transference of the whole to the 

 Geological Department, when he died on December 14th, and the donation 

 was completed by his widow, who also, in 1886, presented the collection 

 of St. Erth fossils made for S. V. Wood by Robert Bell (q.v.). 



Woodward (ARTHUR SMITH) 



Presented Devonian fish-remains from Spitsbergen, 1891. 



Woodward (BERNARD BARHAM) 



Presented Pleistocene non-marine Mollusca, from the Thames Valley, 

 Chelmsford, and Portland, 1890-91.

Woodward (SAMUEL) 



Presented fossils from the Braunston Crag, and wood from a sub- 

 merged forest on the Norfolk coast, 1828. 



Worthen (AMOS HENRY) [1813-1888] 



The late State Geologist of Illinois amassed a very large collection, of 

 which the more important specimens were purchased by the State after 

 his death. A valuable residuum, however, came into the hands of his 

 third SOD, Mr. Thomas A. Worthen, of Warsaw, 111., from whom in 1897 

 the British Museum acquired 499 Echinoderma, comprising 2 echinoids, 

 20 cystids, 85 blastoids, and 392 crinoids, mostly from the Lower 

 Carboniferous rocks of N. America, but a few from older strata. They 

 are for the most part accompanied by labels in Prof. A. H. Worthen's 

 handwriting. Since Worthen himself was a student of Crinoidea, and 

 since his collection had also been utilised by James Hall, the determina- 

 tions have a special value (see F. A. Bather, "Genera and Species of 

 Blastoidea," p. x., 1899). 



Wright (BRYCE M.) 



Many fossils were purchased from this dealer, including the unique 

 skull of Odontopteryx toUapica from the London Clay of Sheppey,

Wright (THOMAS) [1809-1884] 



A native of Paisley, Wright was for the last fifty years of his life in 

 practice as a physician at Cheltenham, where he devoted his leisure to 

 palaeontology. In addition to thirty-two papers contributed to the 

 Quarterly Journal of the Geological Society, the Proceedings of the 

 Cotteswold Field Club, and the Annals and Magazine of Natural 

 History, he wrote for the Palreontographical Society, monographs on
