Evans (William), not. 1851 
Mr. Evans, of 38 Morningside Park, Edinburgh, is a 
very well-known Scottish zoologist. He was born at Edin- 
burgh, May 9, 1851, and educated at schools in East Lothian 
and Edinburgh. He also attended botany and political 
economy classes at Edinburgh University. He has always 
been interested in natural history — beginning with birds 
and butterflies — from childhood. He is a Fellow of the 
Faculty of Actuaries in Scotland and of the Eoyal Society 
of Edinburgh, and has been a member of the British Orni- 
thologists’ Union since 1888. He has published a great deal 
of work on Scottish birds in the zoological journals, and has 
in the press a List of Birds of the Forth Area , while he has 
issued The Mammalian Fauna of the Edinburgh District 
(8vo, Edinburgh, 1892), and is joint-editor of the Scottish 
Naturalist. His earlier notes on Scottish birds were pub- 
lished in the Proceedings of the Physical Society of Edinburgh, 
but later chiefly in the Annals of Scottish Natural History.
