William Brodie (naturalist)

William Brodie (1831 – 6 August 1909) was a Canadian dentist and naturalist. Brodie influenced many naturalists in North America and was involved in establishing the Toronto Entomological Society in 1877 which became in 1878 the Natural History Society of Toronto. In 1885 it became part of the Canadian Institute. He was especially known for his study of plant galls of which he made a large reference collection and described several gall-making insect species. The Brodie Club was established in his memory in 1921.
