328 Geology. 



Spratt (Vice-Admiral THOMAS A. B.) [1811-1888] 



While surveying in the Mediterranean, Spratt made geological obser- 

 vations on many of the little-known coasts, partly in association with 

 Prof. Edward Forbes. He forwarded some small donations of fossils to 

 the Museum at different times, until in 1878 he presented an important 

 collection of remains of pigtny elephants and hippopotamus, with a lew 

 bones of birds and land tortoises, from the Zebbug Caves, Malta. The 

 remains of elephants in this collection were described by G. Busk (Trans. 

 Zool. Soc., vol. vi.); the Ohelonia by Leith Adams (Quart. Journ. Geol. 

 Soc., 1866); and the birds by Mr. Lydekker (Proc. Zool. Soc., 1890, 

 and " Catalogue of Fossil Birds in the British Museum," 1891). 



Springer (Hon. FRANK) [1848- ] 



Associated with C. Wachsmuth (q.v.) in the formation of a large 

 collection of Cilnoidea at Burlington, Iowa, and in the production of 

 important works on their structure and classification, Mr. Springer, who 

 is now a leading barrister in New Mexico, has, since the death of his 

 colleague, continued to publish papers, notably " Liintacrinus ; its 

 Structure and Relations" (190] ). Remarkable specimens illustrating 

 this memoir were presented by Mr. Springer in 1900. 



Spurrell (FLAXMAN) 



Dr. Flaxman Spurrell and his son, Mr. Flaxman C. J. Spurrell, of 

 Belvedere, made an extensive collection of Pleistocene Mammalia from 

 Thames deposits at Crayford, Kent. Some of the specimens were 

 described or noticed by Falconer, Dawkins, and Sanford. The greater 

 part of the collection, comprising the skull of Fells ho and numerous 

 other important specimens, was presented to the Museum by Mr. F. C. J. 

 Spurrell in 1893. Mr. F. C. J. Spurrell's own collection of implements 

 and bones from a Palaeolithic floor, described in the Quarterly Journal 

 ot the Geological Society (1880), was presented by him to the Department 

 of Geology in 1895.
