Arthur De Carle Sowerby (1885 - 1954) was a British naturalist, big game hunter and explorer in China in the early 1900s. He collected specimens for Robert Sterling Clark's expedition of 1909 and made four separate expeditions into Manchuria and Mongolia. In the early 1920s, Sowerby found that his chronic arthritis was preventing him from making any more expeditions so he settled in Shanghai with his second wife. They founded the China Journal which they edited until 1938, with Sowerby making regular contributions and editorials. He retired to Washington DC where he later died.
