Carruthers Douglas

    Alexander Douglas Mitchell Carruthers was an explorer and naturalist whose work focused on detailed mapping and specimen collection from remote regions of the Middle East and Central Asia. His field research yielded unique specimens that continue to enrich natural history museums, and his expertise in cartography and taxidermy positioned him for significant contributions to the Royal Geographical Society. Carruthers's publications, stemming from his expeditions, meticulously document the geographical and natural specificities of less-explored territories, thereby enhancing broader global understanding.
