Professor H. G. Seeley, F.RS., F.GS. 245 
Professor Seeley, in the first instance, explored the Lower Karroo 
rocks and found the Paretasaurus, and obtained one skeleton practically 
complete. He then examined the Middle Karroo or Dicynodont beds, 
but although many interesting reptiles were found no complete skeleton 
of Dicynodon occurred. Further north, at Burghersdorp, he established 
a friendship with Dr. Kannemeyer, which has led to the discovery of 
interesting reptiles, and at Aliwal North Mr. Alfred Brown placed in 
his hands types, which Mr. Brown has presented to the British 
Museum. Near Queenstown the important skeleton of Cynognathus 
was extracted from the rock, and the skulls of Gomphognathus were 
collected. Having made a circuit of the colony after visiting Kimberley 
he came over the Katberg, accompanied by Dr. Atherstone, to Grahams- 
town, where several new reptiles awaited examination. By 1895 the 
more typical of these reptiles were figured in the Transactions of the 
Royal Society, but the materials awaiting publication are varied and 
not unimportant, and likely to occupy all his available leisure for 
some years. ‘The described specimens have been presented to the 
British Museum by their discoverer, who has watched over the 
removal of the matrix from the bones, a task still in progress. 
Professor Seeley was elected a Fellow of the Geological Society in 
1862, when his godfathers were Adam Sedgwick, William Whewell, and 
William Hopkins. In 1872 he married Eleanora Jane, only daughter 
of William Mitchell, of St. George’s Lodge, Bath. Mrs. Seeley has 
travelled with her husband in Western Europe, and assisted in the 
measurements of specimens in many foreign museums and in his work 
generally. In 1879 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society; in 
1902 a Member Correspondant of the Imperial Academy of Sciences. of 
St. Petersburg; and in 1905 a Fellow of King’s College, London.
