Lydall Ryan
The historian’s name is misspelled here. The scholar who wrote on Tasmanian Aboriginal history is Lyndall Ryan, not “Lydall Ryan.”
Full reasoning
This passage refers to the Australian historian Lyndall Ryan, a leading scholar of Tasmanian Aboriginal history. Official biographical and institutional sources identify her consistently as Lyndall Ryan.
- The Australian National University’s Obituaries Australia entry is titled “Obituary - Lyndall Ryan” and describes her scholarship on Tasmanian Aboriginal history, including Tasmanian Aborigines: A History Since 1803.
- The University of Newcastle likewise credits the frontier massacres map to Professor Lyndall Ryan.
Because the article names the same historian but spells her first name as “Lydall”, this is an error in the text.
