==Early life==
Pierson was born in Dobroyd Estate, Long Cove, [[Sydney]] and educated at St Mark's Collegiate School, [[The King's School, Sydney|The King's School, Parramatta]]. He studied [[medicine]] from 1863 to 1865 at the [[University of Sydney]] but did not finish a degree.
==Career==
Although he never had had any formal scientific training in zoology, Ramsay had a keen interest in natural history and published many papers. In 1863 he was treasurer of the Entomological Society of New South Wales, he contributed a paper on the "Oology of Australia" to the Philosophical Society in July 1865, and when this society was merged into the [[Royal Society of New South Wales]], he was made a life member in recognition of the work he had done for the Philosophical Society.
In 1868 Ramsay joined with his brothers in a sugar-growing plantation in [[Queensland]] which, however, was not successful. Ramsay was one of the foundation members of the [[Linnean Society of New South Wales]] when it was formed in 1874, and a member of its council from the beginning until 1892. He became the first Australian-born Curator of the [[Australian Museum]] and built up a large variety of native weapons, dresses, utensils and ornaments illustrating the ethnology of [[Polynesia]] and [[Australia]]. From 1876 until 1894, when he had to resign due to his declining health, he published a ''Catalogue of the Australian Birds in the Australian Museum at Sydney'' in four parts.
In 1883 Ramsay traveled to [[London]] to attend the International Fisheries Exhibition. At that time he met Military Surgeon [[Francis Day]] who had collected fishes over several decades in India, Burma, Malaysia and other areas in southern Asia. Ramsay negotiated to purchase a portion of Day's collection, including about 150 of Day's type specimens.
==Late life==
After his resignation as Curator, Ramsay served the Australian Museum as "consulting ornithologist" until [[1909]]. He died on [[16 December]] [[1916]] in Sydney.
