T. McKENNY HUGHES, M.A., F.R.S., F.G.S., F.S.A. 



We much regret to add the name of still another veteran 

 worker to the list we have recently published of those who have 

 left us after giving a useful life in the interests of geological 

 science. Prof. T. McKenny Hughes was 85 years of age, and 

 was able to write and carry out his work almost to the end. 

 For many years he was the Woodwardian Professor of Geology 



at Cambridge. As an Archaeologist, too, he had a considerable 

 reputation, especially in those branches bordering on geological 

 science. 



Yorkshire was particularly favoured with his attentions, 

 and so long ago as 1867 he had some ' Notes on the Break 

 between the Upper and Lower Silurian Rocks of the Lake 

 District, as seen between Kirkby Lonsdale and Malham, 

 near Settle,' in The Geological Magazine, Vol. IV., p. 346-356. 

 In 1868 he had some ' Notes on the Geology of Parts of York- 

 shire and Westmorland ' in the Proceedings of the Yorkshire 

 Geological Society, Vol. IV., p. 565-577. This Society has 

 been regularly favoured with the results of his work ever since ; 

 his valuable series of papers on ' Ingleborough,' published 

 in recent years, forming an exceptionally complete account 

 of the interesting geological features of the most remarkable 



1917 July 1.
