JAMES PARKER, HON. M.A. OXON., F.G.S. 



Born 1833. Died October, 1912. 



We regret to announce the death of Mr. James Parker, of Oxford, 

 at the age of 79. In the leisure of a busy life as a publisher 

 he devoted himself to archaeological and geological studies, and 

 accomplished much, especially in the geology of the neighbourhood 

 of Oxford and in the exploration of the caves of Somersetshire. 

 He made a great collection of fossils in the days when the Oolites 

 round Oxford were extensively worked, and some of his finest 

 specimens, including Teleosaurian skulls and Megalosaurian remains, 

 were described in Phillips' Geology of Oxford. In 1880 he prepared 

 a map and sections of the strata south of Oxford, which he printed 

 with explanatory notes for an excursion of the Geologists' Association, 

 and in 1884 he issued a revised edition of the same little work under 

 the auspices of the Warwickshire Field Club. His exploration of the 

 caves in the Mendip Hills was done in association with Professor Boyd 

 Dawkins and the late Mr. Ayshford Sanford. Mr. Parker became 

 a member of the Geologists' Association in 1861 and a Eellow of the 

 Geological Society in 1867. He contributed a curiously critical paper 

 on the valley of the Sbmme and its gravels to the Proceedings of the 

 Association in 1875, and he frequently took part in the discussions at 

 the meetings of both Societies. His views were usually original, not 

 infrequently singular, and he appeared at his best in the informal 

 debates during the excursions of the Geologists' Association, where 

 his genial presence was always especially welcomed.
