JOHN ROCHE DAKYXS. 



(1836 — 1910). 



Of late, death has struck heavily into the foremost rank of 

 Yorkshire geologists. Sorby, Hudleston, Fox-Strangways are 

 gone. And now we have to lament the loss of another veteran 



j^:^ -y- 





in the death of J. R. Dakyns, which occurred, after a mercifully 

 brief illness, on September 27th, at Snowdon View, Gwynant, 

 near Beddgelert, where he had resided for some years past. 

 Though his residence in Yorkshire terminated over twenty- 

 five years ago, he will be well remembered by the older geologists 

 of both the East and the West Riding, and by his many friends 

 outside the geological circle.
