Nephew of Thomas Vernon Wollaston. Hutton became a well-known New Zealand natural historian after emigrating there shortly after 1866 when he retired from the army. He was at one time Professor of Zoology at Christchurch. Among the many important works he carried out on the islands was the publication of the Index Faunae Novae Zelandiae, 1904, which listed all the insects known at that time. He is included here because he took the weevil Pentarthrum huttoni in Devonshire which Wollaston named after him. Gilbert (1977) lists six obituaries and other notices. (MD 5/03)
