BAIN, ANDREW GEDDES (1797-1864)

This article appears in Volume V03, Page 222 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BAI-BAR
BAIN, ANDREW GEDDES (1797-1864) , British geologist, was a native of
Scotland
 . In 1820 he emigrated to Cape Colony, and carried on for some years the business of a saddler at Graaf Reinet. During the Kaffir War in 183334 he took command of a provisional battalion raised for the defence of the frontier. Later he was engaged to construct a military road through the Ecca Pass, and displayed engineering- talents which led to his being permanently employed as surveyor of military roads under the corps of Royal Engineers. This occupation created an
interest
  in geology, which was fostered in 1837 by the
loan
  of Lyell's Elements. He discovered the remains of many reptilia, including the Dicynodon, which was obtained from the
Karroo
  Beds near Fort Beaufort and described by Owen. Devoting all his spare energies to
geological
  studies, Bain prepared in 1852 the first comprehensive
geological
  map of
South
  Africa, a
work
  of
great
  merit, which was published by the Geological Society of London in 1856. He died at Cape Town in 1864.
