GEORGE FREDERICK HARRIS, F.G.S. 



Born September 13, 1862. Died July 16, 1906. 



As supplementary to the short notice given in our last number 

 (p. 384), we may mention that Mr. Harris was born at Anglesey in 

 Hampshire, and educated at Netherhampton House School, Wilton, 

 near Salisbury. He subsequently attended classes at King's College, 

 London, and the Birkbeck Institution. At an early age he became 

 interested in geology and archceology, and he enlarged his knowledge 

 during extensive travels in Europe and during visits paid to North 

 Africa and the United States. 



To the Geological Magazine he contributed papers on " The 

 Gelinden Beds," 1887, p. 108; on "The Geology of Gironde," 1890, 

 p. 22; and "A Journey through Russia," 1898, pp. 9, 110. 



In conjunction with Mr. H. W. Burrows, A.R.I.B.A., F.G.S. , he 

 published a valuable account of "The Eocene and Oligocene Beds of the 

 Paris Basin," with geological map and sections, and numerous lists 

 of species and localities, pp. 1-129, 8vo (I'ead before the Geologists' 

 Association, April 3, 1891, and published separately, E. Stanford, 

 price 3s.). 



He added an Appendix to Mr. R. B. Newton's Systematic List of 

 British Oligocene and Eocene Mollusca in the British Museum 

 (1891), and prepared a catalogue of the Tertiary Mollusca of 

 Australia^ in the Geological Department (1897), 8vo, pp. 26 

 and 408, with 8 plates, printed by order of the Trustees of 

 the British Museum. In conjuncticm with Mr. Burrows he also 

 named and arrangeil the Foreign Tertiary Mollusca in the Geological 

 Department of the British Museum. 



Mr. Harris was for more than 20 years a regular contributor to 

 the Builder, and wrote a series of articles upon " Building Stones," 

 which were afterwards published separately. His attention thus 

 became directed to questions of practical geology. He issued in 

 1888 a work entitled "Granites and our Granite Industries," and 

 wrote on London Water Supply (1892) ; he contributed for 



'■ Intended to be one of a series.
