Notes From Elsewhere

Archibald Campbell or Arthur Campbell (1805–1874) of the Bengal Medical Service (the Indian Medical Service according to some sources) was the first superintendent of the sanitarium of Darjeeling town in India. Sources differ regarding his first name. While some say that the "A" in "Dr A. Campbell" stands for Arthur,[1] the name register of the Darwin Correspondence Online Database gives his name as Archibald,[2] supported by Teagenius.com.[3] However, in the same database, the footnote of a letter from Darwin to Sir Joseph Dalton Hooker cites his name as Andrew.[4] Family papers and census returns refer to his first name as Archibald. He is also referred to as the first superintendent of Darjeeling.[1] He was transferred from Kathmandu to Darjeeling in 1839
