[QUOTE="Björn Bergenholtz, post: 3531940, member: 113430"] Could be Mark, I´ve been on the same path for a while regarding "[I]Phasianus Ryanius[/I]" ... Without having seen the OD I am guessing (nothing but guessing!) we´re dealing with Sir [B]Edward Ryan [/B]([B]1793–1875[/B]), Chief Justice (in Calcutta from 1827 until 184[U]3[/U]), President of the Asiatic Society of Bengal (1832-1841), etc. etc. ... i.e. this guy ([URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Ryan_(barrister)"][U]here[/U][/URL]).
