STOLICZKA, FERDINAND (1838-1874)

This article appears in Volume V25, Page 955 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: STE-SUS
STOLICZKA, FERDINAND (1838-1874) , Austrian palaeontologist, was born at Hochwald, in Moravia, in May 1838. He was educated at Prague and at the university of Vienna where he graduated Ph.D. He was encouraged to
work
  at geology and palaeontology by Professor E. Suess and Dr M. Hoernes; and as early as 1859 he communicated to the Vienna
Academy
  a description of some
freshwater
  mollusca from the Cretaceous rocks of the north-eastern Alps. In 1861 he joined the Austrian
Geological
  Survey, and in the following year he was appointed palaeontologist to the
Geological
  Survey of India. In Calcutta the description of the Cretaceous fossils of Southern India was placed in his hands, and the publication of this
great
 
work
  which formed
part
  of the Palaeontologia indica, was commenced with the assistance of H. F.
Blanford
  in 1863 and completed in 1873. During the last ten years of his life he published geological memoirs on the western Himalayas and Tibet, and numerous papers on all branches of Indian
zoology
 , from mammals to insects and corals. In 1873 he was selected as naturalist and geologist to accompany a mission despatched by the Indian government to Yarkund and Kashgar under Mr (afterwards Sir Douglas) Forsyth. His
health
 , which had been severely affected by his previous field work in India, proved unequal to the strain, and he died on the 19th of June 1874, at Shayok, in Ladak, while " returning loaded with the spoils and notes of nearly a year's research in one of the least-known parts of Central
Asia
 ."
