384 Obituary—Mr. Henry William Bristow. 
of which office he saw the completion of the Geological Survey of 
the country on the one-inch scale. Retiring in July, 1888, he 
enjoyed but for a brief period his well-earned repose. A sudden stroke 
of paralysis was the immediate cause of his passing away, after a 
lingering illness, on June 14th, in his seventy-second year. 
Mr. Bristow was elected a Fellow of the Geological Society in 
1845, and of the Royal Society in 1862. Unfortunately afflicted 
with partial deafness, he was unable to hold free intercourse with 
his brother geologists; hence he seldom took part in the meetings 
of the Geological Society, although he served on the Council for a 
short time. 
He received a Diploma from the Imperial Geological Institute 
of Vienna, and from the King of Italy the Diploma and Insignia of 
an officer of the Order of SS. Maurice and Lazarus. For several 
years, and until the close of his life, he was Hxaminer in Geoteey, 
for the Science and Art Department.
