Anthropological Institute (AI) Fellows 1900-1901
The Ethnological Society of London (ESL) in February 1843 formed a breakaway group of the Aborigines' Protection Society, which had been founded in 1837. The new society was to be 'a centre and depository for the collection and systematisation of all observations made on human races'. Between 1863 and 1870 there were two organisations, the Ethnological Society and the Anthropological Society of London (ASL). The Anthropological Institute of Great Britain and Ireland (1871) was the result of a merger between these two rival bodies. Permission to add the word 'Royal' was granted in 1907.

In 1874, he was referred to in the 'Indian Antiquary' as 'late M.C.S.' (ie Madras Civil Service), an indication that he had retired from public service in India by at least that date. In another reference he is referred to as 'Major' Walhouse, an indication a military background. He is known for publications on lepidoptera (some of his specimens are in the BMNH), the Todas and the archaeology of the Nilgiri Hills ... a study of the Tanjore Armouries ... folk lore of India, etc, etc. That he was active in fieldwork in the Nilgiri Hills by 1848 is clear from his publications. He gave a collection of metal objects from the Nilgiri Hills to the BM in 1868 and a body of S Indian Iron Age artefacts, etc in 1873. He is frequently quoted as a definitive authority in the 19th century dictionary of Anglo-Indian terminology, 'Hobson-Jobson'. He continued to publish in the Indian Antiquary until at least 1880.’ |
