Sydney Lyon born in 1808 died in 1894. Was very badly wounded by a cavalry charge in the Rebellion in 1864, the cause of his early death. Victor Lyon born in 1853. Wants $20 dollars for his entire Bryozoan collection. At this rate his complete collection would not be secured for less than $2000. Bryozoan literature, the divine Lyon became almost a mania. Lyon's collection strongest in Bryozoa Aschelidae and Corallacea. Corals good but not the equal of Dawson's collection.
