| Clergyman, naturalist, and traveller, born in Eglingham, Northumberland, NE England, UK. He studied at Oxford, and became an Anglican clergyman. Tuberculosis forced him to go abroad for his health. His main interest was in the flora and fauna of Palestine, and he was the author of the first ornithological surveys of the region, including The Land of Israel (1865), Natural History of the Bible (1867), and The Flora and Fauna of Palestine (1884). Tristram's warbler and Tristram's serin are named after him. |
