Obituary Notice of Hugh Miller. 323 



his Memoir on the country round Otterburn and Elsdon ; 

 and in this and other publications he supported the classifi- 

 cation of the Lower Carboniferous Eocks, established by 

 the late George Tate of Alnwick, in opposition to the 

 arrangement of them put forward by Professor Lebour. A 

 posthumous publication of his, entitled " The Dream of Mr 

 H. the Herbalist," gives a vivid picture of the Fauna and 

 Flora of the Carboniferous period. Several of his memoirs 

 are still in MSS. For some years previous to his death he 

 suffered a good deal from insomnia, which incapacitated him 

 for severe mental work, and necessitated occasional long 

 leaves of absence. 



He had established, as a kind of memorial of his father, 

 a Museum in Cromarty, in the house where Hugh Miller, 

 senior, was born, and in this he took great interest. 



Hugh Miller was elected a member of the Geological 

 Society of London in 1874, but he does not seem to have 

 contributed any paper to it. He was also a member of 

 the following Edinburgh Societies — E,oyal, Geological, Geo- 

 graphical, Physical, and Antiquarian. In 1881 (12th October) 

 he joined the Berwickshire Naturalists' Club, and was also 

 a member of the Tyneside Naturalists' Field Club.
