PROFESSOR, DR. J.C. MOBERG: 
Lund University, Sweden. 
We regret to learn of the death of Dr. Johan Christian Moberg, 
Professor of Geology at Lund University and Member of the 
K. Svenska Vetenskaps-Akademi, which took place at Lund on 
December 30, 1915. Professor Moberg was well known as a worker 
in the Paleozoic Geology and Paleontology of Sweden, especially of 
Scania, and produced a valuable summary of the subject for the use 
of the Geological Congress when it met at Stockholm. He was in 
his sixty-second year. 
WILLIAM RUPERT JONES. 
Born 1855. Di=D DECEMBER 17, 1915. 
Tue death is announced of the late Assistant Librarian to the 
Geological Society of London at the age of 60. Mr. William Rupert 
Jones was the son of the well-known geologist Professor Thomas 
Rupert Jones, F.R.S., for many years himself Assistant Secretary to 
the Society. He was appointed Assistant Librarian in 1872, and 
retired on pension in 1912, having served the Society for forty years. 
Mr. Jones acquired during his long service an extensive general 
knowledge of geological and other literature, and aided by a remark- 
able memory he was able rapidly to assist authors and inquirers to 
references in almost any line they chanced to pursue. 
For many years his Catalogue of Geological Literature, although 
confined to that received by the Society itself, was the standard book 
of reference, from its simplicity and general correctness. And there 
are many authors who had occasion to appreciate his skill in the 
production of coloured diagrams to illustrate their papers, a labour 
which grew up gradually but quite unofficially. 
Mr. Jones, who leaves no issue, was buried in Brompton Cemetery. 
Erratum.— In the Gzorosrcat Macazine for January, 1916, p. 39, 
7th line from foot of page, for ‘repeated substances have taken place” 
read ‘repeated subsidences have taken place’’.—Ep. Gon. Mae.
