Georoe Thomas Clark, E.S.A., who was elected a Pellow of this 

 Society in 1867, died at the age of 87, at his residence, Tal-y-Garn, 

 Glamorgan, on January 31st, 1898. Mr. Clark was best known as 

 an antiquary, but he also contributed papers on geological subjects 

 to this and other Societies. A paper by him ' On the Neighbourhood 

 of Bombay and certain Beds containing Fossil Progs ' is printed 

 in the Quarterly Journal, vol. iii (1847) p. 219, and another, ' Re- 

 marks upon the Basalt Dykes of the Mainland of India opposite 

 to the Islands of Bombay and Salsette,' in the same periodical, 

 vol. XXV (1869) p. 163. Mr. Clark commenced work as a civil 

 engineer, but afterwards was for many years manager and resident 

 trustee of the great Dowlais Ironworks, which, after the death of 

 Sir John Guest, were removed to Cardiff, mainly through Mr. Clark's 

 instrumentality. 



John Carrick Moore, M.A., P.R.S., was born in Wigtownshire 

 (where his father, a brother of Sir John Moore, the hero of Corunna, 

 had a residence) in the year 1804. He was educated at Queens' 

 College, Cambridge, and was elected a Fellow of this Society in 

 1838. In 1841 he accompanied Prof. Sedgwick in his tour in the 

 West of Scotland, and in one of his letters Sedgwick says, * I found 

 him a very agreeable companion, and we did some good underground 

 work together.' Mr. Moore devoted much time to the study of 

 the coast-sections of his native county of Wigtown, and his first 

 paper communicated to the Society was ' On the Eocks which 

 form the West Shore of the Bay of Loch Ryan in Wigtownshire, 

 N.B.' (Proc. Geol. Soc. vol. iii, 1840, pp. 277 & 278). This was 

 followed by papers
