Eminent Living Geologists — Dr. C. I). Walcott. 7 



witness of the imperfection of the geological record, which the 

 discovery of its treasures has lessened at a bound. We look forward 

 eagerly to the publication of tbe full accounts of these Cambrian 

 faunas, of which preliminary descriptions only have yet appeared. 

 But Dr. Walcott has already admitted others to his paradise by the 

 publication of the beautiful photographs and photographic panoramas 

 of the British Columbian Alps, which bear testimony to his skill in 

 yet another direction — as an expert photographer of mountain 

 scenery. 



Well might the ex-President of the Geological Society 

 (Dr. Harker) state when handing the Wollaston Medal to the 

 Attache to the Embassy of the United States in London for trans- 

 mission to Dr. Walcott, that "his personal researches have excited 

 interest and admiration wherever geology is cultivated ". 



Dr. Walcott has many friends in this country who are proud of 

 the friendship. He has been the recipient of honours here ; he has 

 encouraged British workers with much kindly help ; some of his 

 most brilliant discoveries have, been made in the territories of the 

 British Empire ; and as we have seen, he has done his work and 

 suffered loss in connexion with the great war for the sake of 

 civilization. He has forged a prominent link in the chain that 

 unites the English-speaking peoples on the two sides of the Atlantic.
