  however, 
  distributed 
  maps 
  on 
  which 
  the 
  limits 
  of 
  the 
  various 
  ice- 
  

   sheets, 
  as 
  traced 
  out 
  by 
  him, 
  were 
  laid 
  down. 
  Up 
  to 
  the 
  Manchester 
  

   Meeting 
  of 
  the 
  British 
  Association 
  in 
  1887 
  he 
  was 
  disposed 
  to 
  

   attribute 
  all 
  Pleistocene 
  glacial 
  phenomena, 
  in 
  the 
  British 
  Isles 
  as 
  

   in 
  America, 
  to 
  one 
  uninterrupted 
  period 
  of 
  cold 
  ; 
  but 
  a 
  short 
  notice 
  

   contributed 
  by 
  his 
  widow, 
  Mrs. 
  Lewis, 
  to 
  the 
  ' 
  Geological 
  Magazine 
  ' 
  

   shows 
  that 
  he 
  had 
  seen 
  reason 
  to 
  modify 
  his 
  views 
  in 
  this 
  respect 
  

   after 
  a 
  visit 
  to 
  Erankley 
  Hill, 
  in 
  "Worcestershire, 
  in 
  company 
  with 
  

   Dr. 
  H. 
  W. 
  Crosskey. 
  Unhappily 
  his 
  study 
  of 
  the 
  glacial 
  pheno- 
  

   mena 
  of 
  the 
  British 
  Isles 
  was 
  never 
  completed, 
  and 
  the 
  hopes 
  enter- 
  

   tained 
  by 
  many 
  geologists 
  of 
  this 
  country 
  that 
  much 
  light 
  would 
  be 
  

   thrown 
  upon 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  most 
  interesting, 
  but 
  also 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  most 
  

   difficult 
  problems 
  in 
  geology, 
  by 
  the 
  work 
  of 
  one 
  so 
  singularly 
  

   qualified 
  for 
  the 
  study, 
  were 
  not 
  fulfilled. 
  In 
  the 
  course 
  of 
  a 
  visit 
  

   to 
  America 
  last 
  spring, 
  Professor 
  Carvill 
  Lewis 
  was 
  attacked 
  by 
  

   typhoid 
  fever, 
  from 
  which 
  he 
  died 
  at 
  Manchester, 
  soon 
  after 
  his 
  

   return 
  to 
  Europe, 
  on 
  the 
  21st 
  July, 
  1888. 
  

  

  The 
  papers 
  published 
  by 
  Professor 
  Carvill 
  Lewis 
  on 
  subjects 
  not 
  

   relating 
  to 
  the 
  traces 
  of 
  the 
  Glacial 
  epoch 
  were 
  chiefly 
  mineralo- 
  

   gical. 
  

  

  To 
  many 
  English 
  geologists, 
  as 
  to 
  myself, 
  Professor 
  Carvill 
  Lewis 
  

   became 
  first 
  known 
  personally 
  at 
  the 
  Montreal 
  Meeting 
  of 
  the 
  

   British 
  Association 
  by 
  the 
  great 
  energy 
  and 
  kindness 
  with 
  which, 
  

   as 
  the 
  representative 
  of 
  the 
  Philadelphia 
  Committee, 
  he 
  gave 
  

   assistance 
  to 
  all 
  members 
  of 
  the 
  British 
  Association 
  who 
  wished 
  to 
  

   go 
  from 
  Montreal 
  to 
  the 
  American 
  Association 
  Meeting 
  at 
  Phila- 
  

   delphia. 
  No 
  one 
  could 
  have 
  been 
  better 
  selected 
  as 
  a 
  representative 
  

   of 
  American 
  hospitality. 
  The 
  charm 
  of 
  a 
  peculiarly 
  pleasant 
  

   manner, 
  a 
  thoroughly 
  scientific 
  mind, 
  and 
  very 
  considerable 
  energy, 
  

   have 
  won 
  for 
  him 
  in 
  the 
  coarse 
  of 
  the 
  few 
  years 
  that 
  have 
  elapsed 
  

   since 
  his 
  arrival 
  in 
  Europe, 
  not 
  only 
  in 
  England, 
  but 
  also 
  on 
  the 
  

   continent, 
  a 
  large 
  circle 
  of 
  friends, 
  and 
  the 
  loss 
  of 
  one 
  so 
  highly 
  

   esteemed, 
  and 
  for 
  whom 
  so 
  brilliant 
  a 
  career 
  was 
  anticipated, 
  has 
  

   produced 
  as 
  widely 
  spread 
  a 
  feeling 
  of 
  sorrow 
  on 
  this 
  side 
  of 
  the 
  

   Atlantic 
  as 
  in 
  America.
