1 PROCEEDINGS OF THE GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY, [vol. Ixxviii, 



House of Commons, Captain of the Yeomen of the Gruard, Lord 

 Waj-den of the Stannaries from 1888 to 1908, Lord Lieutenant 

 of Grloucestershire and of the cities of Grloucester and Bristol from 

 1857 to 1911, and President of Bristol College since 1860, he 

 had throughout retained a keen and practical interest in geology, 

 though he did not attempt original work. He had an extensive 

 collection, chiefly of local fossils, and was always ready to offer 

 hospitality and facilities for investigation to anyone studying the 

 rocks of the Tortworth area. [S. H. K.] 



John Claeke Hawkshaw was educated at Westminster 

 School and Cambridge, where, apart from distinction in his 

 academical studies, he became Captain of the C. IT. B.C. On 

 leaving Cambridge he adopted the profession of civil engineer, 

 which he pursued with distinction, and was President of the 

 Institution of Civil Engineers in 1902; during the late war he 

 commanded the Railway Transport Staff Corps and was made 

 Hon. Colonel for his services. Outside his profession he took a 

 keen interest in natural history and geology, and, besides important 

 papers on engineering subjects, contributed to the Journals of the 

 Linnean, and of our own, Society. He was elected a Fellow of 

 this Society in 1866, and served on the Council in 1879-83 and 

 1891-92. 



Thomas Lindsay G-alloway came of a family of mining 

 engineers, his father and two brothers all having attained eminence 

 in the profession in which he himself achieved distinction. In his 

 younger days he studied at Grlasgow University under Lord Kelvin, 

 by whom he was selected to carry out the testing of the piano-wire 

 method of making deep-sea soundings. On his return from the 

 voyage to Brazil, in which these tests were successfully carried out, 

 he devoted himself to the study and afterwards to the practice of 

 mining, and was connected with the Campbeltown Colliery as 

 manager, and afterwards as director, from 1881 till his retirement 

 a few years ago. Of a scholarly disposition and philosophical turn 

 of mind, he had wide interests outside his profession, and took a 

 prominent part in the foundation of the Archaeological Society of 

 Kintyre. He was elected a Fellow of this Society in 1876.
