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
  was mainly on fossil invertebrata (graptolites, stromatoporoids and corals) ; but he did much field
work
 , especially in the Lake
district
 , where he laboured in company with Professor R.
Harkness
  and afterwards with Dr J.E. Mari. He was awarded the Lyell
Medal
  by the Geological Society in 1888. He died at Aberdeen on the 19th of January 1899.
