From Wiki: Henry William Bristow (17 May 1817 – 14 June 1889) was an English geologist and naturalist. His separate papers are few in number — about eight — and during his later years he suffered from deafness, which prevented him from taking part in the business of societies. But his mark is made on several of the maps and other publications of the Geological Survey, more especially in the memoir of parts of Berkshire and Hampshire (a joint production), and in that admirable one, The Geology of the Isle of Wight, almost all of which was from his pen. He contributed also to sundry publications, official and otherwise, and wrote or edited the following books: 1. Glossary of Mineralogy, 1861. 2. Underground Life (translation, with additions of La Vie Souterraine, by L. Simonin), 1869. 3. The World before the Deluge (a translation, with additions, of a work by L. Figuier), 1872.
