Show textShow cached sourceOpen source URL

Membre du comité directeur du Halifax Mechanics’ Institute depuis 1835, Downs préconisa ardemment la fondation d’un musée provincial d’histoire naturelle. Son plan, diffusé en novembre 1838, prévoyait un parc pour la promenade et l’étude de la zoologie, de l’ornithologie et de la flore, ainsi qu’une bibliothèque.

, “as yet, little more than the nucleus of a Zoological Garden,” improvements in the next three years, facilitated by Downs’s increasing reputation and annual grants from the legislature, substantially expanded its scale and collections. The noisy, diverse assemblage of birds and animals was situated in an adapted natural habitat. Personal collecting was supplemented by donations arranged by British army personnel, importations from the Zoological Society of London, and Downs’s own work during three European trips in 1862, 1864 (when he visited English naturalist Charles Waterton), and 1867.

Graves came to Wolfville acclaimed as “a lady of executive ability and a teacher of high reputation,” and she lived up to the description. The presence of Greek, Latin, French, German, zoology, bookkeeping, and chemistry in the curriculum of the seminary makes clear that she intended the course to be a serious academic experience for the young women under her care. She was also responsible for later introducing Canadian history and physical education, while her interest in languages led her to establish a table in the dining-room where only French was spoken. In addition to serving as principal, Graves taught English rhetoric, literature, and art, instruction in the last subject being greatly enhanced as a result of studies she undertook while on leave in Europe.

In May 1873 MacKay was appointed principal of the Annapolis Academy, but in November he returned to the Pictou Academy to begin a 16-year career as principal. There he strengthened the science program, organized the Pictou Academy Scientific Association, and pursued his own botanical and zoological research. In 1889 he became principal of the Halifax Academy (he was replaced in Pictou by Robert Maclellan). He was also active in professional bodies such as the Provincial Educational Association of Nova Scotia, founded the Summer School of Science for teachers in 1887, and served from 1887 to 1891 as Nova Scotia editor of the Educational Review (Saint John) [see George Upham Hay*].

Ill health forced Lochhead to give up his teaching position for a few months in 1921. When he did not get better he had to resign on 31 August 1925. Macdonald College made him a professor emeritus of entomology and zoology. After his death from a heart ailment on 26 March 1927, there were many eulogies in scientific periodicals in the United States and Canada. Lochhead had been active in numerous scientific societies in North America. A member of the American Entomological Society and the American Association of Economic Entomologists, he was elected a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 1906. President of the Entomological Society of Ontario from 1902 to 1904, he had been vice-president from 1908 to 1909 of the American Nature Study Society, of which he was a charter member. From 1908 to 1925 he served as president of the Quebec Society for the Protection of Plants.

Il entreprit alors une traversée historique de la pampa et des Andes méridionales, pour enfin rejoindre l’expédition à Valparaiso (Chili), à la mi-avril 1790. En cours de route, Haenke avait pris des notes dans les domaines de sa formation : zoologie, minéralogie et surtout botanique.

Obtaining passage for Montevideo (Uruguay), Haenke went in pursuit, only to suffer shipwreck off the South American coast on 23 November, shortly before the expected time of arrival; he was forced to swim ashore with some of his equipment under his arm. Again he missed the expedition. He consequently undertook a historic crossing of the pampas and the southern Andes, finally joining the expedition at Valparaíso (Chile) in mid April 1790. On the way Haenke had practised his specialties, taking notes on zoology, mineralogy, and particularly botany.

Loin de présenter un récit chronologique de son voyage, Lambert agença ses notes de façon à montrer à l’intérieur de chacun de ses chapitres un aspect différent du Bas-Canada : la géographie, le climat, la géologie, la botanique et la zoologie.

, had come out in London in 1799. In his book Lambert displayed no class or party interest. As far as possible he tried to paint a fair and realistic picture of Lower Canada, although on occasion he was unable to conceal his aversion for still-visible signs of the influence of the French régime and for the Roman Catholic clergy; he considered the clergy useful, to be sure, because of their social vocation, but also thought they fostered ossification and backwardness amongst the Catholics.

Show textShow cached sourceOpen source URL

Au commencement, Bailey personnifia la faculté de sciences naturelles à lui tout seul – il enseignait la physique, la chimie, la zoologie, la botanique et la géologie – mais, à compter de 1900, son domaine se limita à la biologie et à la géologie.

Arriving in Fredericton in the summer of 1861, Bailey found his prime duty was to teach, which he did with enthusiasm, skill, and devotion for 46 years. One of his early students, George Robert Parkin, recalled later that "the introduction to Natural Science was like the opening of a new world to me, and it gave me just the intellectual stimulation I needed." Initially, Bailey was a one-man natural science faculty, covering the broad spectrum of physics, chemistry, zoology, botany, and geology, but in 1900 his sphere was reduced to biology and geology. To illustrate his lectures he collected geological and botanical specimens, and added them to the museum cabinets started by his predecessor, James Robb*. He valued museums as educational tools and lamented the attitudes of people who regarded them as "a mere collection of curiosities." His appeals for financial support from the provincial legislature, however, fell on deaf ears.

. In the field of zoology Sarrazin worked particularly as an anatomist. To carry out his dissections, Sarrazin used his set of surgical instruments and a borrowed magnifying-glass; as a result Réaumur presented him with one in 1727. Sarrazin sent communications on extremely minute dissections of Canadian animals to the academy, and these were published in part in the reports of that institution. It should be noted that several of these manuscripts have been preserved. These works deal with the following subjects: “Histoire naturelle et anatomique du Castor”; “L’histoire anatomique du carcajou”; “Histoire d’une espèce de rat d’Amérique septentrionale” (the musk-rat, which is today called

Sarrazin s’intéresse à la biologie, telle qu’on la pratiquait alors ; elle se limitait surtout à l’étude anatomique et systématique des plantes et des animaux, à des rudiments de physiologie végétale et animale et à des aspects ethnobiologiques. Assez curieusement, le docteur Arthur Vallée*, auteur d’une biographie sur Sarrazin, confond biologie et zoologie alors que le premier de ces termes, chez lui, s’oppose à botanique.

Sarrazin was interested in biology, as it was understood then. It was principally confined to the anatomical and systematic study of plants and animals, to the rudiments of plant and animal physiology, and to ethnobiological considerations. Curiously enough, Dr Arthur Vallée*, in a biography of Sarrazin, confuses biology and zoology, for in his book the first of these terms is opposed to botany.

En 1877, comme il estimait que l’Entomological Society of Ontario négligeait sa mission scientifique pour devenir un simple cercle mondain, Brodie aida à fonder la Toronto Entomological Society et en assuma la présidence. L’année suivante, il la rebaptisa Natural History Society of Toronto afin qu’elle accueille aussi des amateurs de zoologie et de botanique.

In 1877 Brodie helped found the Toronto Entomological Society as an alternative to the Entomological Society of Ontario, which he felt neglected its scientific responsibilities to become a mere social club, and served as its president. The following year he renamed it the Natural History Society of Toronto, to include persons interested in zoology and botany; he was still president in 1885 when it amalgamated with the Canadian Institute as its biological section. He contributed in 1898 a series of articles about nature, including scientific entomology, for general readers in the “Home Study Club” of the Toronto

Dawson fut également à l’origine de collections nationales de zoologie constituées principalement de vestiges de dinosaures. À l’époque où il étudiait à la Royal School of Mines, ces reptiles préhistoriques faisaient l’objet d’une controverse.

In 1887 Dawson led an expedition to survey the Yukon territory, long known to harbour deposits of placer gold. Travelling up the Stikine River and then back to the coast via the headwaters of the Yukon River, he not only marked a location for the much-disputed Alaska boundary but described gold-bearing gravels and used glacial patterns to predict the possible discovery of workable deposits somewhere in the Yukon. Two editions of his report, which contained useful geological maps and access routes, sold out. It was generally interpreted as a harbinger of the Klondike gold-rush in 1898, during which Dawson City was named in his honour, despite the fact that he had not reached the Klondike during his survey.
