Obituary — George Jennings Hinde. 237 



borings in a coral-reef on the Funafuti Atoll (see Phil. Travis, for 

 1904). 



George Hinde was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1896. 

 In the year following the Council of the Geological Society awarded 

 him the Lyell Medal. In presenting it the President, Dr. Henry 

 Hicks, referred to the large experience gained by Dr. Hinde with 

 Professor Nicholson in Toronto, and continued later under Professor 

 K. von Zittel in Munich, which had resulted in the valuable work he 

 had since performed that had placed him in the foremost rank of 

 those devoted to the study of minute structures of fossil organisms. 



In 1910 the Hoyal Geological Society of Cornwall conferred upon 

 Dr. Hinde the William Bolitho Gold Medal "for his valuable 

 contributions to the Geology and Palaeontology of Cornwall" (partly 

 in conjunction with Mr. Howard Fox, F.G.S., of Falmouth. 



Such are tlie gleanings I have gathered from the scientific work of 

 my friend George Hinde. He was essentially a keen investigator of 

 Nature, an accurate observer, and a strenuous, untiring worker who 

 never lost interest in his researches. He was naturally of a silent 

 and retiring disposition — having lived much alone in his early life — 

 a man who formed few intimacies, but had the gift of ardent 

 loyalty to those he made his friends. 



He spent much of his time latterly in his quiet home at Croydon, 

 with his books, microscope, and specimens. After some months of 

 ill-health, carefully tended by his devoted wife, George Hinde 

 passed peacefully away on March 18, 1918. He leaves a family of 

 three sons and two daughters.
