 献身于科学的苏格兰富二代Robert Kidston (FRS, 1852--1924) 于1878年成为伦敦地质学会会员（Fellow of the Geological Society of London--FGS)）。1880—1904年，这位有钱公子哥担任英国地质调查局一名不领薪水的古植物学家（honorary palaeobotanist）。Robert Kidston著述甚丰，包括《英国石炭纪植物化石》（Fossil plants of the Carboniferous rocks of Great Britain）之名作。

    1924年Robert Kidston去世。同年，英国地质调查局雇请Robert Crookall博士 (1890--1981)继续开展Robert Kidston没有完成的研究工作。从某种意义上说，Robert Crookall是英国地质调查局历史上的第一位职业古植物学家。1952年，Robert Crookall退休，开始致力于玄学的研究。Robert Crookall在玄学方面陆续发表了很多著作，在西方社会名声大振。
