142 Obituary—John Ward, F.G.S. 
neglected any opportunity of obtaining fish-remains, and among these 
his latest most important discovery was that of a new Listracanthus 
in direct association with the so-called Petrodus. | 
Mr. Ward was elected a Fellow of the Geological Society im 1874, 
and received a moiety of the Lyell Fund from that Society in 1899 in 
recognition of the value of his long-continued researches. In 1895 
the North Staffordshire Field Club also honoured him by the award 
-of the Garner Memorial Medal. Only a small proportion of Mr. Ward’s 
work, however, is embodied in his published writings. He was an 
unassuming and unselfish, enthusiastic student, whose knowledge was 
at the disposal of everyone who went to consult him, The little 
library in the room aboye his shop, and the dark basement in which 
he kept his collection for so many years, were the familiar haunts of 
all who were interested in the English Coal-measures. Huis robust 
physique enabled him to participate in active field-work almost until 
the end of his life, and he was always ready to accompany enquirers 
to any part of the district he knew so well. His genial presence 
avill be missed by a large circle of friends who mourn his loss.
