NEWTON, ALFRED (18291907) , English zoologist, was born at Geneva on the 11th 'of June 1829. In 3854 he was elected travelling fellow of Magdalene College,
Cambridge
 , of which he
had been an undergraduate, and subsequently visited many parts of the world, including
Lapland
 , Iceland, Spitsbergen, the West Indies and North America. In 1866 he became the first professor of
zoology
  and comparative anatomy at
Cambridge
 , a position which he retained till his death. His services to ornithology and zoogeography were recognized by the Royal Society in 1900, when it awarded him a Royal
medal
 . He wrote many books, including
Zoology
  of Ancient Europe (1862), Ootheca Wolleyana (begun in 1864), Zoology (1872), and a Dictionary of Birds (1893-1896). The last, still a standard
work
 , was an amplification of the numerous articles on birds which he contributed to the 9th edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica, and which with comparatively slight revision. are retained in the present edition. He contributed many memoirs to scientific
societies
 , and edited The
Ibis
  (i865-187o), the Zoological
Record

Yarrell
