Thomas C. Jerdon
Thomas Caverhill Jerdon〔His obituary in ''The Ibis'' 1872 (p. 342) and all other works spell his name as Thomas Caverhill Jerdon. This spelling is also found in Hume's Nests and Eggs of Indian Birds Volume 1 (1889); M. A. Smith's ''The Fauna of British India, Including Ceylon and Burma''. Reptilia Volume 1. as well as the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography (entry by Christine Brandon-Jones ). However Dickinson, E.C. & S.M.S. Gregory (2006) have suggested that ''Claverhill'' may be the correct spelling as indicated in the (India Office Record ), possibly a transcription error and further evidence to the contrary may be seen from Scottish records of the time such as "Reports of Cases Decided in the House of Lords, Upon Appeal from Scotland, from 1726 to (). T. & T. Clark, 1853. page 683" (PDF ) as well as the London Gazette- 13 August 1872 (PDF ).〕 (12 October 1811 - 12 June 1872, Upper Norwood) was a British physician, zoologist and botanist. He was a pioneering ornithologist who described numerous species of birds in India. Several species of plants (including the genus ''Jerdonia'') and birds including the rare Jerdon's courser are named after him.
==Early life==
Thomas was the eldest son of Archibald Jerdon of Bonjedward, near Jedburgh, and was born at Biddick House in County Durham. His early education was at Bishopton Grove near Ripon and later at Bawtry near Doncaster. His father influenced an interest in natural history and although not a well-known naturalist, he was a careful observer and while Thomas took an interest mainly in zoology, his younger brother became an active botanist.〔 Thomas joined Edinburgh University in 1828 as a literary student but attended classes in natural history by Professor Robert Jameson. He joined the Plinian Society, an association of naturalists (another member of which was Charles Darwin), on 23 June 1829. He graduated as a medical student in 1829-1830 and continued medical studies before obtaining an assistant surgeonship in the East India Company's service. He was appointed on 11 September 1835 and he arrived at Madras on 21 February 1836.〔
