course to the University of Lund, where Otto Torell was lecturing 

 on geology, and in 1865 obtained the degree of Ph.D. on the strength 

 of a paper on the Ordovician beds of Fagelsang. In 1867 he became 

 reader at the secondary school of Gefle, and in 1882 was transferred 

 to Lund, and at both places devoted his leisure to the study of the 

 Ordovician and Silurian rocks in the neighbouring districts. In 

 1892 his careful researches on the organization of Graptolites by 

 the method of grinding down specimens preserved in pyrites shed 

 much light on the structure of these fossils. He was elected Foreign 

 Correspondent of the Geological Society of London in 1893, and 

 became a Foreign Member in 1900. The title of Professor was con- 

 ferred on him in 1902, and in 1905 he resigned his teaching duties, 

 but continued to reside in Lund till his death, which took place after 

 a few days' illness. Uj) to the last he preserved his vigour of mind 

 and body, and his kindly nature, ever ready to assist his fellow- 

 workers with his wide experience and knowledge, endeared him to 

 all his friends, while his numerous papers on the Lower Palaeozoic 

 beds and faunas of Dalecarlia and. Scania form a valuable con- 

 tribution to science. 



James Somerville Geikie. 



Born 1881. Died 1920. 



Mr. J. S. Geikie, son of Professor James Geikie and nephew of 

 Sir Archibald Geikie, died recently in Borneo from septic pneumonia, 

 at the early age of 39. As the inheritor of a good share of the ability 

 of his family, he gave promise of a highly successful career as a 

 mining engineer, having already carried out technical work of much 

 importance at the Bau gold-mine in Sarawak and elsewhere. His 

 greatest interest, however, was in geology, in which science he gave 

 promise of excellent future work. His loss will be sincerely mourned 

 by many to whom he had endeared himself by the simplicity and 

 strength of a fine character. 



Charles Clifton Moore, F.I.C. 



Born 1862. Died 19g0. 



Mr. C. C. Moore, avIio died on August 11 last, was well known in 

 both scientific and commercial circles in Lancashire and Cheshire. 

 He was for some time engaged in chemical work at St. Helens, and 

 for thirteen years with Brunner, Mond & Co., Ltd. Afterwards 

 he founded the important firm of Charles Moore & Co., Ltd., 

 chemical manufacturers. In spite of a busy commercial life, he was 

 always much interested in geology, and was President of the 

 Liverpool Geological Society. His published papers, in the Pro- 

 ceedings of that Society, chiefly dealt with the volume-relations of 

 rocks, and comprise many very complete analyses of rocks As a 

 man of wide knowledge and genial disposition he will be much missed 

 by those who enjoyed his acquaintance.
