336 Obituary — Upfield Green. 



competition, in June, 1913. He was born in London, of Irish 

 parentage, in 1889, and gained a senior scholarship at Trinity 

 College, Cambridge, and a first-class in the Natural Science Tripos. 

 On entering the Survey he was employed on the revision of the 

 Leinster Coalfield, and was looking forward to work among Silurian 

 strata in the West of Ireland, where his undoubted powers of original 

 research would have been called forth. War, however, broke out, 

 and lie obtained a commission in the North Staffordshire Regiment, 

 being transferred later to the Royal Scots Fusiliers. In the autumn 

 of 1916 he married the second daughter of the Yery Rev. C. T. 

 Ovenden, Dean of St. Patrick's, Dublin; Mrs. Kennedy had already 

 served for many months with a Voluntary Aid Detachment north of 

 Etaples in France, including a winter partly spent in tents. At the 

 close of 1916 Lieut. Kennedy was attached to the Royal Engineers 

 for duties demanding scientific aptitude, and he was in command of 

 a section at the time of his death. His keenness in geological work 

 and his charm of personal manner make his loss deeply felt by his 

 colleagues on the Survey Staff.

UPFIELD GREEN, F.G.S. 

 Bosn August 4, 1834. Died May 31, 1917. 



Our old friend Mr. Upfield Green, who had been failing for many 

 months, passed away suddenly at Bristol. He was born in London, 

 educated at Brighton and Neuweid, entered the London and County 

 Bank in 1852, became Master at Stourbridge School in 1855, and 

 the same year Overseer of the Wildberger Hiitte. The mine stopped 

 working in 1860, when Green returned to England and acquired the 

 old printing business of Groom, Wilkinson & Co. He was an 

 enthusiastic geologist, but wrote nothing, until after thirty years' 

 observation and study of the geology of Cornwall had given him the 

 key to the tectonics of that county. In 1904 he published " Note 

 on the Correlation of some Cornish Beds with the Gedinnian of 

 Continental Europe" (Geol. Mag., 1904); in 1909, "On the 

 Geological Structure of Western Cornwall " (95th Rep. Roy. Geol. Soc. 

 Cornwall), a paper which brought him the Bolitho Gold Medal ; in 

 1912, "Note on the Pollurian-Trewavas Coast Section, Cornwall" 

 (Geol. Mag., 1912); and in 1913, "On the General Geological 

 Structure of Western Cornwall, Avith a Note on the Porthluney- 

 Dodman Section" (Geol. Mag., 1913); the last two in conjunction 

 with C. Davies Sherborn. He had the great satisfaction of knowing 

 that his views on this difficult and controversial area were accepted 

 by many of his friends, especially in Belgium, France, and Germany. 

 He was materially assisted in his researches by his personal know- 

 ledge of the structure of the North of France, Belgium, and the 

 Rhine, and his familiarity with the fossils of the Continental 

 Devonian rocks. He became a Member of the Geologists' Association 

 in 1886, and a Fellow of the Geological Society in 1889. He had 

 held for many years a geological " At Home " once a month, when 

 he gathered round him many friends.
