io6 In Memoriam : George Alexander Louis Lebour, M.A. 



in British prehistoric archseology — Lyell, Pitt-Rivers, Avebury, 

 Evans, Mortimer, have all gone — and we look in vain tor similar 

 men to take their places. 



Years ago, I received much help and encouragement at 

 the hands of Canon Greenwell, and was often invited to visit 

 him at Durham, where drawer after drawer of heavy bronze 

 implements were displayed and examined. He also gave me 

 the great privilege of figuring and describing some of his East 

 Yorkshire specimens. The photograph reproduced herewith 

 was given to me at that time, and represents Canon Greenwell 

 in the prime of his life.- — T.S. 



W. A. PARKER, F.G.S., 1855-1918. 



We much regret to read the announcement of the death 

 of W. A. Parker, the Rochdale Schoolmaster, at the age of 

 63. He was principally known among naturalists for the 

 excellent work he did in connection with the fossils contained 

 in the ironstone nodules of the Middle Coal Measures at Sparth, 

 Rochdale. With other helpers he brought to light an interest- 

 ing number of Orthopterous insects, Arachnida and Crustacea, 

 many of which have been figured and described in The Geolog- 

 ical Magazine by Dr. Henry Woodward. A new Crustacean, 

 Rochdaleia parkeri, was named after him. Many of the speci- 

 mens he collected are preserved in the Natural History Museum, 

 South Kensington, and in the Manchester Museum, and a 

 small series is to be seen in the Museum at Hull. — T.S.

GEORGE ALEXANDER LOUIS LEBOUR, M.A., 

 D.Sc, F.G.S. 



We much regret to record the death of Prof. Lebour, which 

 took place at Corbridge-on-Tyne recently, the Professor being 

 in his 71st year. 



Prof. Lebour's work, particularly in Northumberland and 

 Durham, is well known. He was the author of a useful book 

 on the ' Geology of Northumberland and Durham,' three 

 editions of which appeared between 1873 and 1879. He pub- 

 lished a ' Geological Map of Northumberland ' m 1877, wrote 

 ' The Geology of Durham ' in the Victoria History, and has 

 contributed over 100 papers on geological subjects to various 

 magazmes. These have principally dealt with Carboniferous 

 Geology, but he was particularly interested in the relation of 

 geology to public health, and made many valuable contribu- 

 tions thereon. At the Newcastle meeting of the British 

 Association in 1916, he was the President of the Corresponding 

 Societies' Committee, and delivered an interesting address 

 dealing with ' Co-operation among Field Clubs,' which was
