of St. Petersburg, the same Academy publisMng some two years later 

 his memoir "Tiber einige arktische Trias- Ammoniten des nordlicheii 

 Sibirien " (pp. 22; 3 plates). In the same year appeared his work 

 "Tiber einige j_apanische Trias-Fossilien " (Beitrage zur Palaontologie 

 und Geologie Osterreich-Ungarns und des Orients, Bd. vii, pp. 163- 

 178; 4 plates). Having published some preliminary remarks on the 

 Cephalopod faunas of the Himala3ran Trias in 1892, his "Beitrage zur 

 Kenntnis der obertriadischen Cephalopoden-Faunen des Himalaya " 

 was published by the Vienna Academy in 1896 (Denkschr. d. kais. 

 Akad. d. Wissensch., math.-naturw. Kl., Bd. Ixiii, pp. 575-702; 

 22 plates), an English translation of the work appearing in 1899 in 

 the Pal(Bontoloyia Indica (series xv, Himalayan Fossils, vol. iii, 

 part 1). 



Probably there is no one to whom we are more indebted for our 

 knowledge of the Triassic rocks and of their Cej)halopod faunas than to 

 Dr. E. V. Mojsisovics, the zoning of the Triassic rocks being in a very 

 great measure, in fact almost entirely, due to his researches. 



He was the recipient of many honours and distinctions, the 

 University of Cambridge conferring upon him in 1884 the degree of 

 Doctor of Science (Jionoris causa). He was also a member of many 

 learned societies, including the Geological Society of London, of which 

 he was elected a Foreign Member in 1893. 



GENERAL SIR RICHARD STRACHEY, R.E., G.C.S.I., 

 LL.D., F.R.S. 



BoRX July 24, 1817. Died February 12, 1908. 



This distinguished oflS,cer, who was born at Sutton Court, Somerset, 

 was engaged in important military and engineering works in India 

 from 1836 until 1871. The construction of irrigation works, canals, 

 and railways was varied by active military service, Strachey having 

 taken part in the first Sikh war ; but while his energies were con- 

 centrated mainly on the practical applications of science, he was 

 greatly interested in botany, meteorology, geology, and physical 

 geography. Thus he utilized his opportunities, when engaged in 

 topographical surveys, of making observations on the glaciers of the 

 borders of Tibet and on the geology of the Himalayas ; and the 

 results were communicated to the Geological Society and published in 

 vols, vii and x of the Quarterly Journal. He was a member of the 

 Council of the Society during the years 1853-5, and again in 

 1866-7 ; and President of the Poyal Geographical Society from 

 1887 to 1889. During the later years of his life General Strachey 

 served at times on the Council of the India Office.
