96 Obituary — Henry Bowman Brady. 



Professor W. Kitchen Parker and T. Eupert Jones in carrying on 

 the memoirs on the Nomenclature of Foramioifera, he helped in 

 elucidating many Tertiary species from Italy, treated of by Soldani, 

 and from the Paris and Yienna Basins, described by d'Orbigny : 

 Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist. 1865-71. With Parker and Jones he also 

 produced a " Monograph on the Foraminifera of the Crag," Palaeonto- 

 graphical Society, 1866 (incomplete) ; and a Monograph on the 

 Genus PnlymorpMna (including fossil forms), Trans. Linn. Soc. 

 vol. xxvii. 1870. With Dr. W. B. Carpenter he wrote the memoir 

 on FarJceria and Loftusia, Philos. Trans. 1869. The most important 

 of his other papers on Fossil Foraminifera are the following : — 

 Foraminifera of the Lias of Somerset, Proc. Somers. Arch. N. H. 

 Soc. vol. xiii. 1867. — Saccammina Carteri, Ann. Mag. N. H. March, 

 1871 ; Archceodiscus Karreri, A. M. N. H. October, 1873 ; and 

 Nummulina pristina, A. M. N. H. March, 1874, all from the 

 Mountain-limestone. — Tertiary and Carboniferous Foraminifera from 

 Sumatra, Geol. Mag. November, 1875. — FusuIincB from Kussia, 

 A. M. N. H. November, 1876. — A Miocene Foraminifer from Jamaica, 

 Ann. Malac. Soc. Belg. vol. xi. 1876.— Chalk (?) from the New- 

 Britain Islands, Geol. Mag. December, 1877. — The so-called 

 " Soapstone " of Fiji, Quart. Journ. Geol. Soc. vol. xliv. 1888. His 

 Monograph of Carboniferous and Permian Foraminifera (Fusulina 

 excepted), published by the Palseontographical Society, 1876, is a 

 standard work of very great use to Palaeontologists. Gathering 

 together and revising all that had been done on the subject, and 

 giving careful descriptions and admirable figures of many forms 

 not previously known, this handsome Monograph supplied a great 

 want, and furnished a good standpoint for observers of Palaiozoic 

 Ehizopoda, 



Thus, thanks to Mr. H. B. Brady's persistent energy and hard 

 work, in spite of poor health and at times much suffering, students 

 and others are provided, at several stages of the geological scale, 

 with trustworthy data, in fossils of low type and small size, but of 

 sufficiently distinct character, for guidance in speculating as to the 

 depth and extent of the old seas, relative abundance of life, and 

 evolution of organic forms. 



Such results alone were deserving of great praise ; and it is not 

 surprising that, with his other more extensive researches on recent 

 Foraminifera, Mr. Brady was welcomed as a Fellow of many 

 Scientific Societies, and in 1888 honoured with a Degree from the 

 old University of Aberdeen. In the same year, for the liberal and 

 personal aid given by him to the Imperial Museum at Vienna, and 

 his high standing in his long-continued scientific pursuits, a Gold 

 Medal was presented to him by the Emperor of Austria. He was 

 a Corresponding Member of the Imperial Geological Institute at 

 Vienna ; and Honorary Member of the Koyal Bohemian Museum 

 at Prague.
