BRANDER, GUSTAVUS English naturalist, who came of a Swedish family, was born in London and became a director of the Bank of England. At his country residence at Christchurch in Hampshire he became interested in the fossils so abundant in the clays of Hordwell and Barton. A set of these, presented by him to the British Museum, was described by D. C. Solander in the beautifully illustrated work entitled Fossilia Hantoniensia collecta, et in Musaeo Britannico deposita a Gustavo Brander (1766). Brander was elected F.R.S. in 1754, and he was also a trustee of the British Museum.
