Herbert Edward Andrewes was born on November 9, 1863, in Reading, Berkshire, England.

He was a British stockbroker and entomologist who specialized in beetles of the order Coleoptera. He was educated at the Forestry school in Nancy, France, now INRA. In 1885, he entered the Indian Forest Service. His next post was at the British Museum (Natural History), where he specialized in Carabidae. He was a prolific author, writing over 120 short scientific papers in addition to catalogues, taxonomic works, faunal monographs, and identification manuals. Andrewes was a Fellow of the Royal Entomological Society from 1910 until his death (Council 1920-22). The Society holds his library. Most of Andrewes' personal collection is in the Natural History Museum, London, together with beetles from Sikkim collected by Herbert Stevens. Further collections, including syntypes and a collection from India, Burma, New Guinea, Natal, and Tennessee, including syntypes of Martin Jacoby, Walther Hermann Richard Horn, and Maurice Auguste Régimbart (1900), are in the Oxford University Museum. Other parts of Andrewes' collection are found in the Natural History Museum of Giacomo Doria, Genoa, Italy.

He died on December 16, 1950, in Highgate, London, England.

Charles William Andrews was born on October 30, 1866, in Hampstead, Middlesex, England.

He was a British paleontologist and a curator of the British Museum. He graduated from the University of London and began his career as a schoolmaster. He was, however, always deeply interested in biological and geological science. In 1892, he became a successful candidate in a competitive examination for an assistantship in the Department of Geology in the British Museum (Natural History). His first concerns were with fossil birds, and he described Aepyornis titan, the extinct "Elephant Bird" of Madagascar (1894). He noticed the connections among widely separated flightless rails of Mauritius, the Chatham Islands and New Zealand and deduced that their flightless character had independently evolved on the spot. In 1900, he received the degree of D.Sc. in the University of London as a recognition of the value of his original research. Alfred Nicholson Leeds' gifts of Jurassic marine reptiles from the Oxford Clay of Peterborough to the British Museum elicited his interest in plesiosaurs and other sea reptiles, which culminated in a catalogue of the Leeds collection at the British Museum (2 vols., 1910-13). His last posthumously published paper concerned the skin impressions and other soft structures preserved in an ichthyosaur paddle from Leicestershire. In 1897, he was selected to spend several months at Christmas Island in the Indian Ocean to inspect it before the phosphate mining compromised its natural history. The results were published by the British Museum in 1900. After 1900, his health began slowly to fail. He was sent to spend winter months in Egypt, where he joined Beadnell of the Geological Survey of Egypt, inspecting fossils of freshwater fishes in the Fayoum. Andrews noticed mammalian fauna not previously detected and published Moeritherium and an early elephant, Palaeomastodon, followed by his Descriptive Catalogue. In 1916, he was awarded the Lyell Medal of the Geological Society. He was a Fellow of the Royal Society and an active member of the Zoological Society.

He died on May 25, 1924.

Edmund Andrews was born on April 22, 1824, in Putney, Vermont.

He was an American doctor, a pioneer in surgery and medical education of the Western United States. In 1849, he received the degree of B.A. from the University of Michigan. In 1851, he received his degree in medicine, and in 1852, he became a professor of comparative anatomy at the University of Michigan. He was one of the founders of the Michigan State Medical Society, and in 1853, he began the publication of the Peninsular Journal of Medical and Collateral Sciences. In 1856, he devoted himself to practice, especially surgery. He helped to found the Chicago Academy of Science and the Chicago Medical College where he became its first professor of surgery. When the Civil War broke out, he was made surgeon of the First Illinois Light Artillery, but after a year he had to resign due to illness incurred in the service. He was the first to make and keep complete medical records of the sick and wounded in the war, and his records were accepted by the surgeon general and formed the basis on which records of that office have since been kept. He was a pioneer in practical antisepsis and was the first man in the west to employ Lister's method after its exploitation.

In 1853, he married Sarah Eliza Taylor (d. 1875). In 1877, he re-married Frances Maria Taylor Barrett. He died on January 22, 1904, in Chicago, Illinois.

Edward Wyllys Andrews was born on March 25, 1856, in Chicago, Illinois, a son of Edmund Andrews (1824–1904), a doctor and pioneer in surgery and medical education.

He graduated from Northwestern University as valedictorian of his class of 1881. In 1883, he graduated from Chicago Medical College, which later became Northwestern University Medical School, and in that same year became one of the founders of the Chicago South-Side Medico-Social Society. He was a founder and organizer of both the American College of Surgeons and the National Board of Medical Examiners. He became a Fellow of the American Surgical Association, the Society of Clinical Surgery, the Chicago Surgical Society, and various other surgical societies, for several of which he served as president. He spent his career at what became Northwestern University Hospital but also had appointments at Michael Reese, Hospital Mercy Hospital, Cook County Hospital and St. Luke's Hospital. Andrews was a prolific writer on surgical topics, a member of the Chicago Literary Club, and an avid Shakespeare scholar, as well as a student of botany and geology.

In 1890, he married Alice Scranton Davis (1870–1945). He died on January 21, 1927, in Chicago, Cook County, Illinois.

Thomas Andrews was born on December 19, 1813, in Belfast, Ireland, the son of a Belfast linen merchant.

He was an Irish chemist, physicist, and professor. He attended the Belfast Academy and the Royal Belfast Academical Institution, where he studied mathematics. He continued his studies at the University of Glasgow (chemistry), Trinity College, Dublin (classics and science), and the University of Edinburgh (M.D., 1935). Andrews began a successful medical practice in his native Belfast in 1835, also giving instruction in chemistry at the Academical Institution. In 1845, he was appointed Vice-President of the newly established Queen's University of Belfast and its first Professor of Chemistry. He held these two offices until his retirement in 1879. An outstanding experimentalist, he was the first to show that ozone is another form of oxygen. In 1844, the Royal Society awarded him a Royal Medal for his research into gases. In 1867, became president of the British Association for the Advancement of Science.

In 1842, he married Jane Hardie Walker (1818–1899). He died on November 26, 1885, in Belfast, Ireland.
