17,000 Articles from the Encyclopædia Britannica, 11th & 12th eds. Andrew Leith Adams (1827–1882) Scottish naturalist and palæontologist, the second son of Francis Adams of Banchory, Aberdeen; born on the 21st of March 1827, and educated to the medical profession. As surgeon in the Army Medical Department from 1848 to 1873, he utilized his opportunities for the study of natural history in India and Kashmir, in Egypt, Malta, Gibraltar and Canada. His observations on the fossil vertebrata of the Maltese Islands led him eventually to give special study to fossil elephants, on which he became an acknowledged authority. In 1872 he was elected F.R.S. In 1873 he was chosen professor of zoology in the Royal College of Science, Dublin, and in 1878 professor of natural history in Queen’s College, Cork, a post which he held until the close of his life. He died at Queenstown on the 29th of July 1882.
