Wilson (Edward Adrian), 1872-1912 
Dr. Wilson, whose name will ever be remembered as one 
of Scott’s companions in the Antarctic disaster of 1912, was 
born July 23, 1872, the son of Dr. E. T. Wilson, consulting 
physician to Cheltenham General Hospital, and was educated 
at Caius College, Cambridge. He took his M.B. in 1900, 
and in 1901 was selected as assistant surgeon and naturalist 
to the “ Discovery ” Expedition to the Antarctic. He not 
only did good work as the ornithologist of that expedition, 
but enriched the published account of it with a number of 
illustrations of great merit. On his return in 1904 he spent 
four or five years carrying out the work of the Departmental 
Committee of Enquiry appointed by the Board of Agriculture 
and Fisheries to investigate the subject of the Grouse dis- 
ease, and is said to have himself dissected nearly 2000 birds, 
while he wrote a large part of the two 4to volumes of the 
report on The Grouse in Health and Disease. He left on his 
last ill-fated Antarctic expedition before the work was 
published. He died March 29, 1912.
