Author talk:James Yate Johnson

J.Y.=James Yate?
I would like to have more connecting this fellow with Hawaii. Britannica lists the author as "J. Y. Johnson". James Yate Johnson's life dates fit, and his interest seems reasonable. The most direct connection I can come up with is a page in the The Annals and Magazine of Natural History:

This is an article summary describing a coral found in Madeira, where the author lived, and noting its similarity to one in Hawaii. Making the connection seems a little bit of a stretch though. Bob Burkhardt (talk) 18:02, 20 June 2013 (UTC)
