Rowland Southern (1882 – 13 December 1935)[1] was an English aquatic biologist who specialised in the study of the fresh-water and marine life, particularly segmented worms (Annelida) of Ireland. He trained in England as a chemist and upon moving to Dublin received a post with the City Analyst.[2] In 1906 he began work at the Natural History Museum in the city, transferring to the Fisheries branch of the Department of Agriculture and Technical Information in 1911.[3] In 1919 he was promoted to the rank of Assistant Inspector of Fisheries, a post he held until his death.
