In Mcmoriam : George Alexander Louis Lebour, M.A . 107 



noticed in this Journal at the time (see The Naturalist for 

 October, 1916, pp. 318-321). 



Prof. Lebour always deplored the disappearance of the old- 

 fashioned ' all-round ' type of naturalist, and he promised our 

 readers a paper on the subject, but unfortunately this has not 

 been received. As a teacher of Geology, Prof. Lebour was 

 eminently successful, and had a charming way of interesting 



his students in the science ; possibly his work in this way, 

 though indirect, has been far more beneficial to geological 

 science then has his published works, valuable though they 

 are. He was the vice-principal of Armstrong College since 

 1902, was appointed Prof, of Geology in 1879, having been 

 lecturer in Geological Surveying for six years previously. In 

 1903 he was awarded the Murchison Medal of the Geological 

 Society of London. 



He leaves a widow and two daughters, to whom we extend 

 every sympathy. — T. S.
