connexion, during a short trip to Switzerland in the autumn 

 of 1866, he met Marshall Hall, through whom he obtained 

 introductions to several well-known geologists. From such 

 men as Morris, Etheridge, and Blake, to mention no others, 

 he received instruction in paheontology, and thus early in 

 the seventies he was sufficiently advanced to he able to 

 contribute to the literature of his favourite study. He 

 became a Fellow of the Geological Society in May 1867, just 

 a fortnight before he changed his name to Hudleston. 



From the j^ear 1872 onwards he continued to write 

 papers on various geological subjects, while he also partici- 

 pated in the management of the several societies with which 

 he was connected. It is probable that he was the only person 

 who has been Secretary and President, both of the Geologists' 

 Association and of the Geological Society. In 1897 he was 

 awarded the Wollaston Medal ; in 1898 he was President of 

 Section C at the Bristol meeting of the British Association ; 

 and so recently as last summer (1908) he was deputed by 

 the Council to represent the Geological Society of London 

 at the Darwin-Wallace Jubilee meeting of the Linnean 

 Society. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 

 1884. 



While these pages are passing through the press, news of 

 the death of Mr. Hudleston has reached us. He died, to 

 the regret of a large circle of friends, at Wareham, on 

 January 29th, 1909, in his 81st year.
