and also worked in other parts of Yorkshire, particularly in the 

 Harrogate and Scarborough districts. His mapping of our 

 Eastern Moorlands is a splendid example of detailed geological 

 field-work. 



In later years he was engaged in mapping the Leices- 

 tershire coalfield, and the surrounding areas. He retired 

 .from the Survey six years ago, but since that time he has been 

 by no means idle ; in fact he was constantly at work, either for 

 the Survey, or in some other way furthering the interests of 

 geology. At the time of his unexpected death from heart 

 failure on March 4th, he was engaged in preparing a complete 

 bibliography of Yorkshire geology. This enormous work was, 

 we believe, practically completed, and it is to be hoped will 

 be printed for the benefit of future workers. Such, we know, 

 was Mr. Fox-Strangway's wish in undertaking the biblio- 

 graphy, as at his age he could not expect that it would be of 

 much service to him personally. Only those who have had 

 experience in this kind of work can properly appreciate the 

 amount of labour Mr. Fox-Strangways voluntarily undertook 

 for the benefit of his fellow-workers. 



Of his published memoirs the first place must be given to 

 'The Jurassic Rocks of Britain, Vols. I. and II., Yorkshire', 

 published by the Geological Survey in 1892. The first volume 

 contains a general account of the Yorkshire Jurassic strata, 

 with map, sections, and illustrations of typical fossils ; whilst the 

 second contains a catalogue of the fossils, a bibliography, etc. 

 It is needless to add that this work has been of the greatest 

 service to geologists and others. 



Only so recently as 1907 Mr. Fox-Strangways published a 

 memoir on the Leicester and South Derbyshire Coalfield, 

 which occupied nearly 400 pages, with numerous plans, sections, 

 etc. He also was author of a number of smaller Survey 

 memoirs ; those for Harrogate and Scarborough requiring 

 second editions — a rare occurrence with Surve}' publications. 



Amongst his other writings the following is a list of those we 

 happen to have before us : — ' The Valleys of North-East 

 Yorkshire and their Mode of Formation ' (1894) ; ' Glacial 

 Phenomena near York ' (1895) ; ' Notes on the Coast between 

 Redcar and Scarborough ' (1896) ; ' Filey Bay and Brigg ' 

 (1897) ; ' Geology of the London Extension of the M. S. & L. 

 Rly. from Annesley to Quainton Road, near Aylesbury ' (1897) ; 

 ' Sections along the Lancashire, Derbyshire and East Coast
