was ever ready to help others, and unsparing of himself in the 

 interests of the subject which he loved. It was a privilege to 

 count Zeiller a friend ; he was a man of strong affections, and 

 deeply religious. While we admire his intellectual power and his 

 whole-hearted devotion to the advancement of knowledge, it is 

 his singularly-attractive personality and his lovable character that 

 bulk largest in our recollection of the colleague whom we have 

 lost. To quote the words used by Zeiller in a biographical sketch 

 of the Marquis of Saporta : he has left for all 'le souvenir d'un 

 maitre aussi aime que respeete, en meme temps que d'un des 

 esprits les plus eminents dont ait a s'enorgueillir la paleontologie.'

Michel Felix Mourlo', who was elected a Foreign Corre- 

 spondent in 1899, was born on May 11th, 1845, and graduated 

 at Brussels in 1867. He was appointed Conservator of the Royal 

 Museum of Natural History at Brussels in 1872, and became 

 Director of the Geological Survey of Belgium in 1897. Between 

 1875 and 1883 he contributed important papers on the Devonian 

 formations of Belgium to the ' Bulletin ' of the Royal Academy of 

 Brussels. He also edited the Memoirs on the Cretaceous and 

 Tertiary formations of Belgium prepared for the Survey by 

 A. Dumont. In 1880-81 he published his useful ' Geologie de 

 la Belgique ' in two volumes, and during more recent years he 

 wrote several papers on the Tertiary and Quaternary geology of 

 that country. 



Edmond Rigaux, who received an award from the lyell Fund 

 in 1883, and became a Foreign Correspondent in 1893, was an 

 able amateur geologist residing at Boulogne. He made many 

 important contributions to our knowledge of the geology of the 

 Lower Boulonnais, which were eventually summarized in a memoir 

 published by the Societe Academique de Boulogne-sur-Mer in 

 1892. His acquaintance with the Jurassic rocks and fossils was 

 especially profound, and his amiable services were always at the 

 disposal of those who visited the district for geological work. He 

 died in April 1915. 



Glacial Geology has lost a pioneer by the death of Prof. 

 James Geikie, which occurred at Edinburgh on March 1st, 1915. 

 The younger brother of Sir Archibald Geikie, he was born in
