William Wood (zoologist)

William Wood FRS FLS (1774–1857), was an English surgeon, zoologist and entomologist.

He was born in Kendal, Westmorland and trained in surgery at St Bartholomew's Hospital. He practised for several years as a surgeon at Wingham, near Canterbury and in London, but left the medical profession to become a natural history bookseller, publisher and naturalist.

He was the author of several natural history books, especially on the Mollusca. He was also a Fellow of the Royal Society (elected 1812) [1] and a Fellow of the Linnean Society.

He died in Ruislip, Middlesex.
