BUCKLAND, FRANCIS TREVELYAN English zoologist, son of Dean William Buckland, the geologist, was born at Oxford, and became house-surgeon at St. George's hospital, London, in 1852. The pursuit of anatomy led him to a good deal of out-of-the-way research in zoology, and in 1856 he became a regular writer on natural history for the newly-estab lished Field, particularly on the subject of fish. In 1866 he started Land and Water on similar lines. In 1867 he was appointed government inspector of fisheries. Among his publications, besides articles and official reports, were Fish Hatching (1863), Curiosi ties of Natural History (1857-72), Logbook of a Fisherman (1875), Natural History of British Fishes 0880.
