This article appears in Volume V28, Page 790 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: WIL-YAK
WOOD, SEARLES VALENTINE (1798188o) , English palaeontologist, was born on the 14th of February 1798. He went to sea in 1811 as a midshipman in the
East
  India Company's service, which he left, however, in 1826. He then settled at Hasketon near
Woodbridge
 , Suffolk. He devoted himself to a study of the mollusca of the Newer Tertiary (Crag) of Suffolk and Norfolk, and the Older Tertiary (Eocene) of the
Hampshire
  basin. On the latter subject he published A Monograph of the Eocene Bivalves of England (18611871), issued by the Palaeontographical Society. His
chief
 
work
  was A Monograph of the Crag Mollusca (18481856), published by the same society, for which he was awarded the Wollaston medal in 186o by the Geological Society of London; a supplement was issued by him in 18721874, a second in 1879, and a third (edited by his son) in 1882. He died at Martlesham, near
Woodbridge
 , on the 26th of October 1880. His son, Searles Valentine
Wood
  (183o-1884), was for some years a solicitor at Woodbridge, but gave up the profession and devoted his energies to geology, studying especially the structure of the deposits of the Crag and glacial drifts.
