Council from 1S74 to 1898; he was a Vice-President in 1886 and 

 1887. He contributed several papers to our Journal, treating of 

 the geology of remote countries, such as Vancouver Island, Michigan, 

 and Arabia Petrcea ; but he was best known to many Fellows of the 

 Society as the Treasurer of the Geological Club, a post which he 

 held for an unbroken period of many years. 



He died of heart disease on December 5th, 1909. 



Frederick George Hilton Price, F.S.A. (1842-1909).— Mr. 

 Hilton Price was born on August 20th, 1842. His father was 

 Mr. F. W. Price, a partner in the bank of Messrs. Child & Co. 

 He was educated at Crawford College, Maidenhead, and at the age 

 of 18 entered the bank of Messrs. Child & Co., of which he after- 

 wards became the head acting partner. 



He was elected a Fellow of this Society in 1872, and served on 

 the Council in 1878 and 1879. He was a member of the Geologists' 

 Association, and held the office of Treasurer from 1875 to 1881. He 

 was also Director of the Society of Antiquaries, President of the 

 Egypt Exploration Fund, a Vice-President of the Society of 

 Biblical Archaeology, and a Fellow of the Zoological and Numismatic 

 Societies. He published several valuable works ; among the best 

 known are ' A Handbook of London Bankers,' ' Marygold,' ' The 

 Signs of Lombard Street,' and ' Old Base Metal Spoons.' 



Mr. Price's name will always be associated with the Gault ; for 

 eleven years he devoted most of his leisure to its investigation, 

 working partly alone and partly in association with Mr. Starkie 

 Gardner. He was greatly assisted by Griffiths, the fossil collector of 

 Folkestone, whose services were kept in constant requisition. A 

 compendious account of the final results of this investigation was 

 given in a lecture delivered at Cambridge, and afterwards published 

 as a pamphlet. 



He married, in 1867, Christina, daughter of the late Mr. William 

 Bailey, of Oakem (Staffordshire), by whom he had one son and 

 one daughter. He died on March 14th, 1909, at Cannes, after an 

 operation. 



James Ebenezer Saunders, J.P., F.Z.S., F.RA.S. — Mr. Saunders, 

 at one time Alderman for the Ward of Coleman Street, Member of 

 the Metropolitan Board of Works and of the London School Board, 

 was elected a Fellow of the Society in 1855. He was one of the 

 original members of the Geologists' Association.
