Thomas Vernon Wollaston

Plate from Wollaston's ''Coleoptera Sanctæ-Helenæ'' (1877) Thomas Vernon Wollaston (9 March 1822 – 4 January 1878) was an English entomologist and malacologist, becoming especially known for his studies of Coleoptera inhabiting several North Atlantic archipelagoes. He was well-placed socially. His religious beliefs effectively prevented him from supporting Charles Darwin's theories after 1859, but Darwin remained a close friend. Wollaston supported the theory that continental lands had once extended outward farther to encompass some of the island groups he studied. Provided by Wikipedia
