    Former Fellows of The Royal Society of Edinburgh 1783 – 2002 Biographical Index Part Two ISBN 0 902198 84 X Published July 2006 © The Royal Society of Edinburgh 22-26 George Street, Edinburgh, EH2 2PQ BIOGRAPHICAL INDEX OF FORMER FELLOWS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF EDINBURGH 1783 – 2002 PART II K-Z C D Waterston and A Macmillan Shearer This is a print-out of the biographical index of over 4000 former Fellows of the Royal Society of Edinburgh as held on the Society’s computer system in October 2005. It lists former Fellows from the foundation of the Society in 1783 to October 2002. Most are deceased Fellows up to and including the list given in the RSE Directory 2003 (Session 2002-3) but some former Fellows who left the Society by resignation or were removed from the roll are still living. HISTORY OF THE PROJECT Information on the Fellowship has been kept by the Society in many ways – unpublished sources include Council and Committee Minutes, Card Indices, and correspondence; published sources such as Transactions, Proceedings, Year Books, Billets, Candidates Lists, etc. All have been examined by the compilers, who have found the Minutes, particularly Committee Minutes, to be of variable quality, and it is to be regretted that the Society’s holdings of published billets and candidates lists are incomplete. The late Professor Neil Campbell prepared from these sources a loose-leaf list of some 1500 Ordinary Fellows elected during the Society’s first hundred years. He listed name and forenames, title where applicable and national honours, profession or discipline, position held, some information on membership of the other societies, dates of birth, election to the Society and death or resignation from the Society and reference to a printed biography.

    xxvi Proceedings of Royal Society of Edinburgh. Sir James Falshaw, Bart. By Bailie J. A. Russell, M.A., M.B. (Read January 6, 1890.) Last June Sir James Falshaw, Bart., J.P., D.L., who had been long and honourably known in connection with railway and muni- cipal matters in Scotland, died in Edinburgh, at the age of 79. He was the son of a wool merchant in Leeds, where he was born on 21st March 1810, the sixth of a family of fourteen; but it was in Scotland that he won fortune and reputation, and that he finally settled. At school he sat on the same bench with Sir John Hawkshaw under Mr Jonathan Lockwood, and at the age of fourteen he was articled for a seven years' apprenticeship to Mr Cusworth, architect and surveyor. At this time he laid the foundation of his first success by mastering the subject of skew arches. He then became agent in charge of a section of the Leeds and Selby Eailway for the contractors Messrs Hamar & Pratt, who subsequently appointed him to the entire charge of the construction of the Whitby and Pickering Railway. In this bit of work he gained experience of steep gradients, curves, and other difficulties which afterwards stood him in good stead. Thereafter he obtained the position of chief-assistant to Mr G. Leather, engineer of the Aire and Calder Navigation, Goole Docks, &c. During the seven years he was with Mr Leather he had a share in preparing many important engineering schemes, among which were the Leeds Waterworks, involving a tunnel of 1J mile, the Bradford Water- works, and the Stockton and Hartlepool Eailway, of which Mr (now Sir John) Fowler was resident engineeer.

    The Reception and Commemoration of William Speirs Bruce Are, I Suggest, Part

    The University of Edinburgh School of Geosciences Institute of Geography A SCOT OF THE ANTARCTIC: THE RECEPTION AND COMMEMORATION OF WILLIAM SPEIRS BRUCE M.Sc. by Research in Geography Innes M. Keighren 12 September 2003 Declaration of originality I hereby declare that this dissertation has been composed by me and is based on my own work. 12 September 2003 ii Abstract 2002–2004 marks the centenary of the Scottish National Antarctic Expedition. Led by the Scots naturalist and oceanographer William Speirs Bruce (1867–1921), the Expedition, a two-year exploration of the Weddell Sea, was an exercise in scientific accumulation, rather than territorial acquisition. Distinct in its focus from that of other expeditions undertaken during the ‘Heroic Age’ of polar exploration, the Scottish National Antarctic Expedition, and Bruce in particular, were subject to a distinct press interpretation. From an examination of contemporary newspaper reports, this thesis traces the popular reception of Bruce—revealing how geographies of reporting and of reading engendered locally particular understandings of him. Inspired, too, by recent work in the history of science outlining the constitutive significance of place, this study considers the influence of certain important spaces—venues of collection, analysis, and display—on the conception, communication, and reception of Bruce’s polar knowledge. Finally, from the perspective afforded by the centenary of his Scottish National Antarctic Expedition, this paper illustrates how space and place have conspired, also, to direct Bruce’s ‘commemorative trajectory’—to define the ways in which, and by whom, Bruce has been remembered since his death. iii Acknowledgements For their advice, assistance, and encouragement during the research and writing of this thesis I should like to thank Michael Bolik (University of Dundee); Margaret Deacon (Southampton Oceanography Centre); Graham Durant (Hunterian Museum); Narve Fulsås (University of Tromsø); Stanley K.

William Tranter, who died in 1879 at the age of one hundred and one years, stated in 1837, that the Madeley Vicarage Kitchen becoming too small for the Methodist meetings a barn on the premises was neatly fitted up for a preaching room. In this place the Methodist travelling preachers and the curate of the parish regularly preached. Here also Mrs. Fletcher, after the death of her husband, held her meetings for expositions of the Scriptures, religious experience, and prayer. On Sundays the people from a distance received hospitalities of which interesting accounts are given by Mr. Tranter. "On the ringing of a bell at one o'clock, all assembled for the afternoon at Mrs. Fletcher's meeting, when she often read the life of some eminently holy man, and commented on it. Then they adjourned to the church for the afternoon service and sermon." Joseph Entwistle (President, 1812) records in his Journal (May 18,) 1817, " On Monday afternoon we went to Madeley, the parish of the venerable Fletcher. At seven I preached in the Tythe Barn, adjoining to the vicarage, which was furnished with benches and a desk, with a gallery at one end. , . The Tythe-barn seems to have been built two hundred years; it is open to the roof, thatched with straw. and all the windows except one are made of oiled paper. My soul was filled with a sense of the divine presence, and the recollection of the blessed couple (though I never saw their faces) helped me while I spoke .

(Concluded from the March Number, p. 106.) EEPTILIA ET AVES.—Our two greatest Anatomists of the past century, Owen and Huxley, both contributed to this section of our palseozoological record. Owen (in 1865) described some remains of a small air-breathing vertebrate, Anihrakerpeton crassosteum, from the Coal-shales of Glamorganshire, corresponding with those described by Dawson from the Coal-measures of Nova Scotia ; and in 1870 he noticed some remains of Plesiosaurus Hoodii (Owen) from New Zealand, possibly of Triaasic age. Huxley made us acquainted with an armed Dinosaur from the Chalk-marl of Folkestone, allied to Scelidosaurus (Liassic), ITylao- saurus and Polacanthus (Wealden), the teeth and dermal spines of which he described and figured (1867), and in the following year he figured and determined two new genera of Triassic reptilia, Saurosternon Bainii and Pristerodon McKayi, from the Dicynodont beds of South Africa. E. Etheridge recorded (in 1866) the discovery by Dr. E. P. Wright and Mr. Brownrig of several new genera of Labyrinthodonts in the Coal-shales of Jarrow Colliery, Kilkenny, Ireland, com- municated by Huxley to the Royal Irish Academy, an account of which appeared later on in the GEOLOGICAL MAGAZINE in the same year by Dr. E. P. Wright (p. 165), the genera given being Urocordylus, Ophiderpeton, Ichthyerpeton, Keraterpeton, Lepterpeton, and Anthracosaurus. Besides these genera there were indications of the existence of several others (not described), making at that time a total of thirteen genera from the Carboniferous formation in general.

    Former Fellows of The Royal Society of Edinburgh 1783 – 2002 Biographical Index Part One ISBN 0 902 198 84 X Published July 2006 © The Royal Society of Edinburgh 22-26 George Street, Edinburgh, EH2 2PQ BIOGRAPHICAL INDEX OF FORMER FELLOWS OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF EDINBURGH 1783 – 2002 PART I A-J C D Waterston and A Macmillan Shearer This is a print-out of the biographical index of over 4000 former Fellows of the Royal Society of Edinburgh as held on the Society’s computer system in October 2005. It lists former Fellows from the foundation of the Society in 1783 to October 2002. Most are deceased Fellows up to and including the list given in the RSE Directory 2003 (Session 2002-3) but some former Fellows who left the Society by resignation or were removed from the roll are still living. HISTORY OF THE PROJECT Information on the Fellowship has been kept by the Society in many ways – unpublished sources include Council and Committee Minutes, Card Indices, and correspondence; published sources such as Transactions, Proceedings, Year Books, Billets, Candidates Lists, etc. All have been examined by the compilers, who have found the Minutes, particularly Committee Minutes, to be of variable quality, and it is to be regretted that the Society’s holdings of published billets and candidates lists are incomplete. The late Professor Neil Campbell prepared from these sources a loose-leaf list of some 1500 Ordinary Fellows elected during the Society’s first hundred years. He listed name and forenames, title where applicable and national honours, profession or discipline, position held, some information on membership of the other societies, dates of birth, election to the Society and death or resignation from the Society and reference to a printed biography.
