John Anderson (1833-1900), a native of Scotland, became the first curator of the Indian Museum in 1865. Although based in Calcutta, he joined the Sladen expedition to Burma and Yunnan in 1868, and a second expedition to the same region in 1875. These two expeditions provided the material upon which Anderson based his first large herpetological work, Anatomical and Zoological Researches, known especially for its excellent plates of Asian turtles. After 1886 Anderson returned to Britain and later initiated work in the more arid areas of southwest Asia and north Africa.
