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.
