Though a resident at Torquay for 50 years, he was a 

 Cornishman by birth, and made for himself a world-wide 

 reputation by his explorations in Kent's Cavern. He was one 

 of the most distinguished Geologists of his time. He may be 

 said to have made the Museum in the Babbacombe Eoad, 

 Torquay ; and was Honorary Secretary of the Torquay Natural 

 History Society. 



His gifts to the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, were invalu- 

 able, and he was one of the chief of Cornwall's living men of 

 science. His decease is much felt in Devon and Cornwall. He 

 died March 16, 1894, aged 82 years.
