British Museum (Natural History). — At the end of March 

 Mr. E-ichard Hall retired after thirty-eight years of service as 

 preparer of fossils in the Geological Department of the British 

 Museum. In early life he became a highly skilled mason, and was 

 engaged on many and varied important works, including the Prince 

 Consort's tomb at Frogmore, some parts of the House of Commons, 

 and buildings on the estate of the Duke of Wellington between 

 Grenada and Malaga in Spain. Among his close associates for a 

 time was the late Henry Broadhurst, afterwards M.P. Entering 

 the British Museum in 1880 his abilities enabled him soon to adapt 

 himself to the new special work, and he acquired remarkable 

 proficiency in the art of preparing vertebrate skeletons. Under the 

 direction of the late Mr. William Davie s, his first great success was 

 the chiselling of the skeleton of lIyperodapedo7i gordoni from the 

 Triassic sandstone of Elgin, which was described by Professor 

 Huxley in 1887. Afterwards, especially under the direction of the 

 late Professor H. G. Seeley, he began to extricate tlie skeletons of 

 Pariasaurus and Cynognathus from an almost intractable matrix, and 

 his work on these and other reptiles from the Karoo Formation of 

 South Africa led to great progress in the more exact study of the 

 Triassic reptilian fauna. Bicynodon halli was named after him to 

 commemorate his services. Mr. Hall also prepared many other 

 important specimens which are now conspicuous in the public 

 galleries of the Museum, and among them may be mentioned the 

 skeleton of Ichthyosaurus platyodon from Stockton, Warwickshire, 

 Pteranodon and Portheus from the Chalk of Kansas, JDinichthys and 

 similar fishes from the Devonian of Ohio, and the great collection of 

 Mammalian bones from the Pliocene of Pikermi, Greece. He has 

 won the appreciation and esteem both of students and colleagues, 

 and retires with the best wishes of all who have been associated 

 with him.
