Charles Hedley

Charles Hedley (27 February 1862 – 14 September 1926) was a naturalist, specifically a malacologist. He was born in Britain, but he spent most of his life in Australia.

He was the winner of the 1925 Clarke Medal.

Early life

Hedley was born in the vicarage at Masham, Yorkshire, England, the son of the Rev. Canon Thomas Hedley and his wife Mary, née Bush.

He was mainly educated in the south of France; from boyhood he collected mollusc shells, and was greatly influenced by a French work on molluscan anatomy.
