Early life and education [ edit ]
Wall was born in Colombo , Ceylon (now Sri Lanka ). His father, George Wall , was responsible for initiating the study of natural history on the island. Wall was sent to England to be educated at Harrow School , the same school his father and brothers attended, and studied medicine in London before joining the Indian Medical Service in 1893.[4] [5]
Herpetology [ edit ]
Sent to India under the British Raj , Wall continued to work there until 1925 and researched many animals, especially snakes .[4] British Museum and the Natural History Museum, London .[6]
Wall was a member of the Bombay Natural History Society and published more than 200 scientific articles, as well as the book A Popular Treatise on the Common Indian Snakes .[7] [8]
In 1913, the third edition of his book, The poisonous Terrestrial Snakes of our British Indian Dominions, Including Ceylon, and How to Recognise Them; With Symptoms of Snake Poisoning and Treatment , was published.[9]
He was the brother of Arnold Wall and Rowena Wall , later Rowena Seymour, Duchess of Somerset , and the uncle of Evelyn Seymour, 17th Duke of Somerset .
Frank Wall died in Bournemouth , England on 19 May 1950.[1]
Wall is commemorated in the scientific names of five reptiles: Boiga ochracea walli Bungarus sindanus walli Cyrtodactylus walli Hypnale walli Lycodon rufozonatus walli [4]
Along with Malcolm Arthur Smith , Wall is acknowledged as one of the two most important pioneers in the study of Indian herpetology.[citation needed
Since Wall's death, some of his books, including Ophidia Taprobanica or The Snakes of Ceylon , have been republished.[10]
