Obituary — George C. Crick. 557 



satisfied that the last possible item of information had been obtained, 

 whilst a contributing cause of delay was to be found in the state of 

 his health. 



Never robust, he became on more than one occasion so seriously ill 

 that his life was despaired of; still, he made marvellous recovery, 

 and for some years had been so much better that he even participated 

 for a time in Red Cross work. Whilst conscious himself of his 

 precarious condition, he happily had no premonition of his sudden 

 end, and the afternoon before was discussing with Dr. Kitson the 

 geological age of some Ammonites from Nigeria, and making plans 

 for future work. The following morning he passed quietly away at 

 his Wimbledon home, and a few days later was interred at Luton. 



Modest, quiet, and unassuming, ever ready to assist others, Crick 

 endeared himself to all with whom he came in contact ; even one 

 who had not seen much of him writes "he always seemed a lovable 

 little man". As such he will be sincerely mourned, not only by his 

 widow, but by a very wide circle of friends. 



Crick was elected a Fellow of the Geological Society in 1881 ; he 

 joined the Geologists' Association in 1887; was one of the original 

 members of the Malacological Society of London on its foundation in 

 1893; was elected a Fellow of the Zoological Society in 1896; and 

 of the Boyal Geographical Society in 1916. He was also a member 

 of the Bedfordshire Natural History Society, of which his father was 

 one of the founders, and frequently read papers before them.
