William Ruxton Davison
William Ruxton Davison (died 1893) was a British ornithologist and collector.
Davison was the curator of the Raffles Museum in Singapore from 1887 to 1893. Prior to this Davison worked as a collector for Allan Octavian Hume. He travelled on behalf of Hume in Tenasserim in the 1870s and collected 8,600 specimens. The results of this were published in a joint article by Davison and Hume, ''A Revised List of the Birds of Tenasserim'' (1878). He was considered to be one of the best field naturalists of his time.
Hume was invited as a corresponding member of the Provincial museum at Lucknow around 1884-85. Around the same time the Davison, then living in Ootacamund, offered to collect bird specimens for the museum from around southern India for Rs. 500.
