Moscow, which he left in 1888 in order to study Biology under Haeckel 

 at Jena. In 1892 Mr. Bernard published an important monograph on 

 **The Apodidae", his study of these forms leading to papers in the 

 Geological Magazine in 1894 and 1895 on the systematic position of 

 the Trilobites, and on ' the Sandblast ' as a method of developing 

 these organisms from the rocks in which they are embedded. In 

 1894 he began the study of the Kecent and Fossil Corals at the 

 British Museum (Natural History), continuing the quarto illustrated 

 Catalogue of the Madreporaria (published by order of the Trustees) 

 originally commenced by the late Mr. George Brook. In this work 

 Mr. Bernard paid much attention to the fossil forms. He continued 

 to work at the corals in the British Museum until 1907. During 

 these thirteen years he prepared five volumes, namely : — 



Vol. II of the Catalogue (begun by Mr. Brook) on the Turbinaria and Astrceopora. 

 ,, III, on the Montiporina. 

 ,, IV, ,, Goniopora. 

 ,, V, ,, Forites (Indo- Pacific). 

 ,, VI, ,, Forites (West Indies) and Goniopora.

Born February 18, 1839. Died January 8, 1909. 



We regret to announce the death of Harry Govier Seeley, Professor 

 of Geology, Geography, and Mineralogy in King's College, London, 

 and member of the Atlienoeum Club, which occurred early on 

 January 8 at his residence, 3, Holland Park Court, Holland Park 

 Gardens, W. In June, 1907, we published a life of this able and 

 distinguished worker in the Geological Magazine, in our series of 

 " Eminent Living Geologists " (pp. 241-53), accompanied by a portrait 

 and a list of his numerous publications. 



In addition to his arduous labours as a professor in King's College, 

 Queen's College, and the Royal Indian Engineering College at 

 Cooper's Hill, he will be best remembered, perhaps, for the 

 ■wonderful collections he made in the Karroo Beds of South Africa 

 and the resulting exhibition in the Natural History branch of the 

 British Museum of the remarkable skeleton of Pariasauriis and 

 numerous other Anomodont reptiles, which oceupied years of patient
