John McClelland (doctor)

John McClelland or M'Clelland was a British medical doctor with interests in natural history, who worked for the East India Company in India and Burma. He served as a temporary curator of the museum of the Asiatic Society of Bengal just before a permanent curator was found in Edward Blyth.

Work and legacy
McClelland's major botanical contribution was his editing of the work of William Griffith which was published posthumously as Notulae ad plantas asiaticas. In his original work as an ichthyologist he described many species and several genera of fish, among them Schistura. The Spotted codlet fish Bregmaceros mcclellandi W. Thompson, 1840 is named after him. McClelland is commemorated in the name of the mountain bulbul, Ixos mcclellandii and a species of snake, Sinomicrurus macclellandi. ==Writings==
