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 HISTORY OF THE PROJECT Information on the Fellowship has been kept by the Society in many ways – unpublished sources include Council and Committee Minutes, Card Indices, and correspondence; published sources such as Transactions, Proceedings, Year Books, Billets,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.

  • The Sumner Cave Controversy Reconsidered PROVINCIALISM, IDENTITY and ‘COLONIAL’ SCIENCE
    New Zealand Journal of History, 43, 1 (2009) The Sumner Cave Controversy Reconsidered PROVINCIALISM, IDENTITY AND ‘COLONIAL’ SCIENCE COLONIALISM GENERATED PROFOUND QUESTIONS of identity for the colonizers and the colonized. Before European settlers in New Zealand could define themselves as a group they needed to define the people(s) they sought to displace. Throughout the nineteenth century settlers of all classes attempted to answer such questions as ‘when did Maori arrive in New Zealand’, ‘where did they come from’, and ‘were they the country’s first inhabitants’? The answers to such questions could provide colonists with justifications for the colonial project: alienating Maori from their land appeared more morally acceptable if it was asserted that Maori had not been in New Zealand for very long, or if it was argued that Maori themselves had displaced a pre-Maori population.1 As well as attempting to justify colonialism, colonists also asked questions about Maori pre-history simply because they wanted to know and understand the land and peoples they were colonizing. Many settlers assumed that the sciences of ethnology, archaeology and philology could answer their questions concerning Maori pre-history.2 There is now a well-established literature dealing with the history of science in colonial contexts.3 Science in nineteenth-century New Zealand was identifiably ‘colonial’, not simply because men of science were called upon to provide for the physical needs of settler communities, or because scientific thinkers in New Zealand had to negotiate a complex web of relations between themselves and recognized scientific leaders in metropolitan centres such as London, but because many European settlers expected science to help them define who they were and how they related to the colony’s indigenous population.

  • Geological Notes and Location Descriptions for Field Excursions
    Inverness: 30 April - 7 May Inverness: 30 Geological notes and location descriptions for field excursions Deformation mechanisms, Rheology and Tectonics 2017 Deformation mechanisms, Rheology and Tectonics 1 Geological notes* The crustal evolution and geology of NW Scotland can be considered with reference to the Palaeozoic Caledonian orogeny. This major episode of crustal reworking was associated with the formation of a North Atlantic Craton – suturing the Proterozoic and older crustal blocks of Laurentian and Baltica (together with Avalonia, further south). NW Scotland contains part of the western margin of this orogen (or at least its more intense parts), a tectonic feature termed the Moine Thrust Belt. The foreland to the thrust belt preserves much older geology, exhumed from up to 35-40km depth, that give insight to processes that form, rework and reassemble the continental crust. The Caledonian rocks allow us to follow a transect from exhumed middle crustal sections within the orogen out into the foreland. Collectively these outcrops provide arrays of analogues for crustal geology and deformation structures, and we can use these to promote discussion of their geophysical characteristics when targeted in situ. However, the Caledonian crust, together with its foreland, has seen later deformation associated with the formation of sedimentary basins, chiefly in the immediate offshore. We can also access basin faults and examine not only their individual characteristics but also debate how they may have been influenced by pre-existing structures. Pre-Caledonian geology The Lewisian. The Lewisian forms the oldest basement to the British Isles and has classic Laurentian geology. The key geological markers in the field used to build up a sequence of geological events are a suite of NW-SE-trending metabasic sheets – the Scourie dykes.

  • History of the Otago Institute for the Arts and Sciences
    9 June 2017 History of the Otago Institute for the Arts and Sciences The history of science, properly so-called, in Otago goes back a long way — to Banks in 1770, the Forsters in 1773, Archibald Menzies in 1791 with his huge collection of local mosses and ferns, Edward Shortland in 1843-4, Sir David Monro, Tuckett's companion in 1844, Lyell in 1847-9, Mantell in 1848-54, John Buchanan, the botanist, in 1849, Lauder Lindsay in 1861-3 who collected no fewer than 610 species of plants round about Dunedin, and, of course, James Hector, briefly provincial geologist and the veritable father of New Zealand science, in 1864-5. Admittedly, all these people were not merely amateurs, in the best sense of the term. They were also transients, few of whom spent very long here and certainly did not stay here and become part of the local intellectual scene or play any part in developing science among the rising Otago populace. That they necessarily left to the settlers themselves - once they found their feet and some degree of leisure. Oddly enough, the earliest 'improving society' in Dunedin was founded in 1851, just three years after the establishment of what was to have been 'a settlement for Scotland' but for various reasons came to be as much English as Scotch — was indeed saved from near extinction by the timely intervention of a couple of high-minded Anglicans. That body, the 'Mechanics Institute' — the brain-child of Thomas Burns, James Macandrew, John McGlashan and William Cargill — nonetheless owed what success it enjoyed to the patronage of the practical 'working man', for whom, indeed, it was primarily and indeed necessarily intended.

  • Botanic Gardens and the Aesthetics of Artifice Cairns Craig
    Botanic Gardens and the Aesthetics of Artifice Cairns Craig In 1651 Andrew Balfour, later one of the founders of the Edinburgh Botanic Garden, visited Blois in France, where the physic garden developed by Robert Morison, then physician to the Duc d’Orléans, had become famous for its col- lection of plants that could be exploited for medicinal purposes. Morison, from Aberdeen, had left Scotland after being wounded fighting on the Royalist side against Cromwell’s forces in the battle of the Bridge of Dee in 1639. Having, like many other royalist exiles, taken up residence in France, he obtained a doctorate in medicine at Angers and went on to study botany in Paris with Vespasian Robin, then prominent in the introduction of North American plants into European horticulture. Balfour’s meeting with Morison was to lead to a lifelong friendship in which each supported the other’s botanical studies. Morison returned to Britain with Charles II in 1660, to become the King’s physician and subsequently Professor of Botany at Oxford; Balfour, having developed a reputation as a doctor first in St Andrews and then in Edinburgh, extended his medical practice by establishing, along with his cousin Robert Sibbald, who had also trained in France, a ‘physic garden’ to emulate those on the Continent, many of which Balfour had visited while on a ‘grand tour’ with the young Earl of Rochester during the years 1661–4. Balfour and Sibbald’s physic garden was transformed into a botanic garden after the unexpected death in 1671 of one of Balfour’s protégés, Patrick Murray (or Morray), Baron of Livingston (or Levengstone), who had been on a tour of the gardens of France.
