He was then transferred to Bengal, and attached to the 8th Light Dragoons as assistant-surgeon in 1819. In 1821-2 he accompanied the Crawfurd trade mission to Siam (now Thailand) and Cochin China (now Viet Nam) as naturalist, returning with it to Calcutta in 1823. By this time his health was thoroughly broken, and he soon afterwards died.The journal which he had kept during the mission was edited, with a prefatory note on the author, by Sir Stamford Raffles, F.R.S., and published in 1826 under the title The Mission to Siam and Hue, the capital of Cochin China, in the years 1821-2, from the Journal of the late George Finlayson, Esq., The bird Stripe-throated Bulbul (Pycnonotus finlaysoni) is named in Finlayson's honor.".
