- James Franklin (naturalist)
James Franklin (c.1783 - August 31, 1834) was a British soldier. He was the brother of Sir John Franklin
James Franklin entered the service of the British East India Company as a cadet in 1805. He served with distinction on various Indian surveys and was elected a member of the Royal Society. He was in the 1st Bengal Cavalry and an authority on geology. He undertook surveys of the Central Provinces (Vindhyan hills) and collected birds for the Asiatic Society. He collected about 40 species before reaching Benares and on reaching Saugor he had collected one hundred and sixty more specimens and made paintings of these. The specimens went later to the Zoological Society in London but his paintings were stipulated to be returned to the Asiatic Society in Calcutta. [Kinnear, N B 1952.
