William M'Intosh

[3] McIntosh worked as Medical Superintendent of Murthly for eighteen years, leaving in 1882 to take on a Professorship at St Andrews University, reflecting his strong interest and knowledge in Natural History.

[7] He published two major works in his life, A Monograph of the British Annelids[8] (1873 - 1915) in four parts and nine volumes, and The Marine Invertebrates and Fishes of St. Andrews (1875).

[9] ... Reports on important collections made during various cruises under Government and other auspices have largely occupied the attention of Professor McIntosh.

Annelids from Canada, Kerguelen's Island (Transit of Venus Expedition), from the Polar Sea (British North Polar Expedition), and extensive collections made by the " Valorous " and the " Porcupine " have passed under his skilled examination; but his greatest achievement of this kind is the ponderous volume dealing with the collection brought home by H.M.S.

Challenger,—a volume which the late Dr. W. B. Carpenter prophesied would "mark an era in our knowledge of this important division of the Marine Invertebrata."
