﻿ANNIVERSARY 
  ADDRESS 
  OF 
  TFE 
  PRESIDENT. 
  5 
  I 
  

  

  appointed 
  a 
  Judge 
  in 
  the 
  Verderers' 
  Court 
  for 
  the 
  Forest 
  of 
  Epping. 
  

   He 
  was 
  a 
  Member 
  of 
  the 
  Ray 
  and 
  Paheontographical 
  Societies, 
  and 
  a 
  

   Fellow 
  of 
  the 
  Geological 
  Society 
  ; 
  and 
  it 
  is 
  as 
  such, 
  and 
  the 
  position 
  

   he 
  took 
  as 
  a 
  geologist, 
  that 
  I 
  have 
  to 
  speak 
  of 
  him. 
  

  

  So 
  long 
  ago 
  as 
  1844 
  his 
  attention 
  was 
  drawn 
  to 
  the 
  great 
  deposits 
  

   of 
  brick-earth 
  which 
  occupy 
  the 
  valley 
  of 
  the 
  Roding 
  at 
  Ilford 
  near 
  

   his 
  own 
  residence 
  ; 
  he 
  here 
  commenced 
  collecting 
  from 
  the 
  Thames- 
  

   valley 
  brick-earths 
  the 
  rich 
  series 
  of 
  mammalian 
  remains 
  for 
  which 
  

   they 
  are 
  so 
  celebrated. 
  Some 
  idea 
  may 
  be 
  formed 
  of 
  the 
  paheonto- 
  

   logical 
  wealth 
  of 
  this 
  deposit 
  when 
  we 
  know 
  that 
  Sir 
  Antonio 
  Brady 
  

   obtained 
  from 
  it 
  in 
  this 
  one 
  locality 
  nearly 
  1000 
  specimens 
  of 
  mam- 
  

   malian 
  remains. 
  In 
  this 
  area 
  the 
  conjunction 
  of 
  a 
  northern 
  and 
  

   southern 
  fauna 
  is 
  as 
  remarkable 
  as 
  it 
  is 
  unique. 
  We 
  find 
  asso- 
  

   ciated 
  Elephas, 
  Rhinoceros, 
  Felis, 
  Ursus, 
  Hippopotamus, 
  Megaceros, 
  

   Bison, 
  and 
  Bos, 
  the 
  Musk-ox 
  (Ovibos 
  moscJiatas) 
  and 
  the 
  Lemming. 
  

   Sir 
  Antonio 
  Brady's 
  valuable 
  collection 
  of 
  Pleistocene 
  mammalia 
  is 
  

   now 
  preserved 
  to 
  the 
  nation 
  in 
  the 
  British 
  Museum 
  of 
  Natural 
  

   History, 
  Cromwell 
  Road, 
  and 
  helps 
  to 
  enrich 
  the 
  magnificent 
  series 
  

   of 
  our 
  national 
  museum. 
  In 
  Sir 
  Antonio 
  Brady's 
  Catalogue 
  of 
  the 
  

   Pleistocene 
  mammalia 
  from 
  Ilford, 
  Essex 
  (printed 
  for 
  private 
  cir- 
  

   culation), 
  he 
  pays 
  a 
  just 
  tribute 
  to 
  the 
  genius 
  aud 
  ability 
  of 
  Mr. 
  

   TVm. 
  Davies, 
  F.G.S.,of 
  the 
  Biitish 
  Museum, 
  through 
  whose 
  instruc- 
  

   tion 
  and 
  aid 
  he 
  was 
  able 
  to 
  preserve 
  the 
  larger 
  specimens 
  in 
  his 
  

   collection. 
  

  

  Sir 
  Antonio 
  Brady 
  was 
  elected 
  a 
  Fellow 
  of 
  the 
  Geological 
  Society 
  

   in 
  1862. 
  He 
  died 
  December 
  12th, 
  1881. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Charles 
  Moore 
  was 
  born 
  at 
  Ilminster, 
  Somersetshire, 
  in 
  1814, 
  

   and 
  early 
  had 
  his 
  attention 
  drawn 
  to 
  geological 
  studies. 
  His 
  

   curiosity, 
  when 
  a 
  schoolboy, 
  is 
  said 
  to 
  have 
  been 
  first 
  roused 
  by 
  

   accidentally 
  opening 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  numerous 
  nodules 
  that 
  occur 
  in 
  

   the 
  Upper 
  Lias 
  ; 
  when 
  split 
  open, 
  to 
  his 
  surprise 
  he 
  found 
  it 
  con- 
  

   tained 
  a 
  fossil 
  fish 
  : 
  the 
  keen 
  interest 
  thus 
  awakened 
  never 
  forsook 
  

   him. 
  From 
  that 
  time 
  he 
  commenced 
  collecting 
  and 
  accumulating 
  

   specimens 
  ; 
  and 
  before 
  he 
  left 
  his 
  native 
  town 
  he 
  had 
  already 
  formed 
  

   the 
  nucleus 
  of 
  the 
  fine 
  collection 
  which 
  now 
  enriches 
  the 
  Bath 
  

   Museum 
  ; 
  at 
  the 
  same 
  time 
  Mr. 
  Moore 
  made 
  himself 
  thoroughly 
  ac- 
  

   quainted 
  with 
  the 
  physical 
  and 
  stratigraphical 
  geology 
  of 
  the 
  district. 
  

   Mr. 
  Moore's 
  residence 
  in 
  Bath 
  commenced 
  in 
  connexion 
  with 
  the 
  

   Pump-room 
  Library 
  ; 
  on 
  marrying, 
  he, 
  with 
  his 
  own 
  patrimony 
  and 
  

   that 
  of 
  his 
  wife, 
  found 
  himself 
  in 
  a 
  position 
  to 
  devote 
  himself 
  to 
  his 
  

   geological 
  investigations 
  and 
  to 
  the 
  service 
  of 
  the 
  city, 
  in 
  the 
  muni- 
  

   cipal 
  government 
  of 
  which 
  he 
  was 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  Aldermen. 
  

  

  Mr. 
  Moore 
  was 
  the 
  author 
  of 
  thirty 
  papers 
  or 
  contributions 
  to 
  

   the 
  journals 
  of 
  different 
  societies 
  : 
  to 
  our 
  own 
  he 
  contributed 
  six 
  

   most 
  valuable 
  memoirs 
  ; 
  others 
  were 
  communicated 
  to 
  the 
  Somerset- 
  

   shire 
  Archaeological 
  Society, 
  the 
  Geological 
  Magazine, 
  and 
  the 
  earlier 
  

   Geologist. 
  Mr. 
  Moore's 
  name 
  will 
  probably 
  be 
  remembered 
  and 
  

   handed 
  down 
  chiefly 
  through 
  his 
  discovery 
  in 
  England 
  of 
  the 
  

   Rhaetic 
  beds 
  and 
  his 
  subsequent 
  researches 
  in 
  that 
  formation 
  ;
