From the library of Professor George M Foster. Sabin:42852; Hill page 186 1st edition.<br /><br />G F Lyon was an English traveler born in Chichester England in 1795; died at sea in October 1832. He entered the British naval service in 1809 was present at the attack on Algiers by Lord Exmouth in 1816 and in 1818 was commissioned to accompany Joseph Ritchie on his tour of exploration into central Africa. Ritchie died in Fezzan and Lyon returned to England after encountering many dangers and privations which he described in his Narrative of Travels in Northern Africa London 1821. In 1821 in command of the Hecla he accompanied Captain William E. Parry on his arctic expedition publishing on his return The Private Journal of Captain G. F. Lyon 1824. In 1824 he sailed in command of the Griper' with the mission of exploring Melville peninsula and following its western shore as far as Turn-again he found after three months' searching a passage through the group of islets called Southampton island but was unable to enter Repulse bay through Sir Thomas Rowe's Welcome. On 13 September a violent tempest compelled him to return to England. The story of the voyage was told in A Brief Narrative of an Unsuccessful Attempt 1825. He subsequently passed several years in Mexico and died on his return from a second visit to America. His remaining works are The SketchBook of Captain G. F.

Richard Andreas Thoma 1847-1923 Pathologe; seine Habilitationsschrift Blut- und Lymphbewegung war Auftakt jahrzehntelanger Erforschung biophysikalischer Eigenschaften der Blutströmung Hämodynamik und Gewebe fokussiert auf physikalisch-mathematische "histomechanische" Gesetzmäßigkeiten. In Untersuchungen über die Histogenese und Histomechanik des Blutgefässsystems 1893 fasst Thoma seine Forschungsergebnisse zusammen. Er unterscheidet dabei zwischen primärem Gefäßwachstum und Gefäßwachstum durch Sprossung die Bildung neuer Kapillaren aus präexistenten Kapillaren. Neben verschiedenen mikroskopischen Techniken erfand Thoma ein Verfahren mit dem das spezifische Gewicht des Blutes bestimmt werden konnte Picnometer. Thoma entwarf eine spezielle Apparatur für Vitalmikroskopie die Untersuchungen über die Physiologie und Pathologie der terminalen Blutstrombahn ermöglichte. In den 1870er Jahren entwickelte Thoma ein Gerät zur Herstellung hauchdünner histologischer Paraffinschnitte zur mikroskopischen Begutachtung. 1881 stellte er eine Apparatur zur Zählung von roten und weißen Blutkörperchen in definierten Blutvolumina vor. 1897 beschrieb er ein automatisiertes Verfahren zur Gewebeeinbettung.7 unknown
