Moreton John Walhouse, younger brother of James Moreton Walhouse<br /><br />Antiquarian, collector. fl. 1876-94<br /><br />Walhouse was a well known amateur scholar of things Indian in the second half of the 19th century. In 1874, he was referred to in the 'Indian Antiquary' as 'late M.C.S.' (ie Madras Civil Service), an indication that he had retired from public service in India by at least that date. In another reference he is referred to as 'Major' Walhouse, an indication a military background. He is known for publications on lepidoptera (some of his specimens are in the BMNH), the Todas and the archaeology of the Nilgiri Hills (esp. Ind. Ant. vols II and III), a study of the Tanjore Armouries (Ind. Ant. 1878, 192-6), wootz steel, folk lore of India, etc, etc. That he was active in fieldwork in the Nilgiri Hills by 1848 is clear from his publications. He gave a collection of metal objects from the Nilgiri Hills to the BM in 1868 and a body of S Indian Iron Age artefacts, etc in 1873. He is frequently quoted as a definitive authority in the19th century dictionary of Anglo-Indian terminology, 'Hobson-Jobson'. He continued to publish in the Indian Antiquary until at least 1880.<br /><br />Born Warwick, where he also lived.
