Please feel free to inquire as to particulars and/or additional photographs. ... Wiki notes: " John Young (18351902) was a British Regius Professor of Natural History at Glasgow University and Keeper of the Hunterian Museum from 1866 to 1902.. From 1860 to 1866 he worked on the H M Geological Survey working on the Ordnance Survey. Here he met and befriended Roderick Murchison. In 1863 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh. His background was a fortuitous as the retiring Regius Chair of Natural History in Glasgow was becoming vacant and the last person, Henry Darwin Rogers, who had died, was a geologist. Young had a medical and geological background which he used to teach students Zoology and Geology. Young was widely read. He published work on palaeontology."
