Topographer

Thank you for catching this. This I used as source to describe him as a topographer. (I see you removed this ref). Now I agree this is hardly a reliable source. --Altenmann >talk 15:01, 12 March 2026 (UTC)Reply

Yep, I think they might have meant toponymist, because he wrote Local Etymology: A Derivative Dictionary of Geographical Names (1859). --Yodin^T 20:04, 12 March 2026 (UTC)Reply
