This article appears in Volume V28, Page 847 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: WIL-YAK
WRIGHT, THOMAS (18091884) , British palaeontologist, was
born
  at Paisley in Renfrewshire on the 9th of November 1809. He studied at the Royal College of Surgeons in Dublin, and qualified as a
doctor
  in 1832. Soon afterwards he settled at
Cheltenham
 , and graduated M.D. at St Andrews in 1846. He devoted his leisure to
geological
  pursuits, became an active member of the Cotteswold Naturalists'
Club
  (founded in 1846), and gathered a fine collection of Jurassic
ammonites
  and echinoderms. He contributed to the Palaeontographical Society monographs on the British fossil Echinodermata from the Oolitic and Cretaceous formations (18551882); he also began (1878) a monograph on the Lias
ammonites
  of the British Islands, of which the last
part
  was issued in 1885, after his death. He wrote many papers in the Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist. and Proc. Cotteswold
Club
 . The
Wollaston
 
medal
  was awarded to him by the
Geological
  Society of London in 1878, and he was elected F.R.S. in 1879. He died at
Cheltenham
  on the 17th of November 1884.
