Morton (GEORGE HIGHFIELD) [1826-1900] 



Morton was occupied for forty years with geological researches near 

 Liverpool, where he lived, and in North Wales. He published a volume 

 entitled " The Geology of the Country around Liverpool," in ] 863, a 

 newer edition of the same in 1891, and an Appendix in 1897. Besides 

 mapping the Liverpool district, his most important work was the detailed 

 examination of the Carboniferous Limestone of 'North Wales, described in 

 a series of papers published by the Liverpool Geological Society and in 

 one read before the Geological Society of London (Quart. Journ,, 1898). 

 His collection illustrated his researches, and also comprised many valuable- 

 Palaeozoic fossils older than the Carboniferous, besides a jaw of Phasco- 

 lotherium from the Stonesfield Slate. It was well catalogued and labelled: 

 by himself, and the greater part of it (a selection of 4000 specimens) was 

 purchased by the British Museum from his executor in 1900.
