NICHOLSON, HENRY ALLEYNE (1844-1899) , British palaeontologist and zoologist, son of Dr John Nicholson, a biblical scholar, was born at Penrith on the rrth of September 1844. He was educated at Appleby Grammar School and at the universities of Gottingen (Ph.D., 1866) and Edinburgh (D.Sc., 1867; M.D., 1869). Geology had early attracted his attention, and his first publication was a thesis for his D.Sc. degree On the Geology of Cumberland and Westmoreland (1868). In 1871 he was appointed professor of natural history in the university of Toronto, in 1874 professor of biology in the
Durham
  College of Science and in 1875 professor of natural history in the university of St :Andrews. This last post he held until 1882, when he became regius professor of natural history in the university of Aberdeen. He was elected F.R.S. in 1897. His
original
 
work
