Faunthorpe-Vernay Expedition of the American Museum of Natural History (1922-1923)

Exist Dates
1922 - 1929
Abstract
The mission of the Faunthorpe-Vernay Expedition of the American Museum of Natural History was to amass a collection of mammals and other animals that represented the South Asian region. The work was begun with the 1923 expedition and continued through 1929. The main participants were Col. John Champion Faunthorpe and Arthur Stannard Vernay, two British men who were previously unassociated with the Museum. Funding was provided by Vernay and the Jesup Fund through the Department of Mammals. The Expedition took place primarily in India, Burma, and Nepal, and added an invaluable collection to the Museum’s holdings. The Vernay-Faunthorpe Hall of South Asiatic Mammals, consisting of material exclusively collected on these expeditions, opened on November 17, 1930.
