and a basis for glacial work all over the country ' ; his observations 

 on the faunas of the Carboniferous 'Reef-knolls' of the North of 

 England have put on record a wealth of observation and reasoning 

 which will contribute no little to the solution of the problems 

 presented by these remarkable structures; and his researches upon 

 the raised beaches of Gower covered with glacial deposits have 

 extended the area of known Pleistocene movement beyond Yorkshire 

 and Cork." 



A Yorkshire geologist writes of him in the Naturalist (April, 

 1917, p. 142): "Mr. R. H. Tiddeman, so well-known and beloved 

 by Yorkshire hammer-men, has passed away. He was a quiet and 

 conscientious worker, and made many firm friends in the county in 

 which he did so much good work." 



On his retirement from the Survey in 1902, he took up his residence 

 in Oxford, but he was a frequent attendant at the meetings of the 

 Geological Society in London, and was a member of its Council. He 

 leaves a widow and two daughters. 



Mr. Tiddeman was not a voluminous writer, but he contributed 

 to many of the Survey memoirs, maps, and other publications. The 

 Geological Survey memoir On the Water-supply of Oxfordshire 

 bears his name. The following papers are also by Mr. Tiddeman : — 



1872. " On the Evidence for the Ice-sheet in North Lancashire and adjoining 



parts of Yorkshire and Westmoreland " : Q.J. Geol. Soc, vol. xxviii, 

 pp. 471-91. 



1873. " The Older Deposits in the Victoria Cave, Settle, Yorkshire " : Geol. 



Mag., pp. 11-16.

 hurst, Lanes, ' ' by Henry Woodward [with ' ' Notes on the Geology ' ' ,

1900. " On the Age of the Eaised Beach of Southern Britain as seen in 



Gower" : ibid., pp. 441-3.
