About Sir Woodbine Parish KCH
From Wikipedia
Sir Woodbine Parish KCH (14 September 1796, London — 16 August 1882, St. Leonards, Sussex)
British diplomat, traveller and scientist.
Educated at Eton College, he took up his first diplomatic post in 1814, and was involved in events immediately following the defeat of Napoleon at Waterloo. In 1815 he went with the expedition that restored the Kingdom of Naples to the House of Bourbon after the defeat of Joachim Murat, then returned to Paris as a secretary with Lord Castlereagh's embassy that drafted the 1815 Treaty of Paris. He served as chargé d'affaires at Buenos Aires from 1825 to 1832. In this capacity, he signed the Treaty of Friendship, Commerce, and Navigation with Argentina on February 2, 1825, accompanying also official recognition by Great Britain of Argentine independence.
With Joseph Barclay Pentland, Parish surveyed a large part of the Bolivian Andes between 1826 and 1827.
He served as Chief Commissioner at Naples from 1840 to 1845. Parish combined his diplomatic work with scientific research, particularly geology and paleontology. In 1839 he published Buenos Ayres and the Provinces of the Rio de la Plata, an account of the geology of the Buenos Aires and Río de la Plata region and his findings of mammalian fossils, presenting Megatherium bones which were assembled and exhibited in the Natural History Museum, London. He was a fellow of the Royal Society, Geological Society and Royal Geographical Society, serving as vice-president of the latter. He corresponded with Charles Darwin.
