50 PKOCEEDINGS OF THE GEOLO&ICAL SOCIETr. 



In 1872 he returned to England, and in 1875 was appointed one 

 of the Science Masters at Eton — a post which he filled until his 

 death. Besides the writings descriptive of his early labours in the 

 South-east of England, Mr. Drew published an account of the 

 districts with which his long residence in the East had made him 

 familiar. His important work, ' The Jummoo and Kashmir Terri- 

 tories,' appeared in 1875, and an abridged edition in 1877 under the 

 title of ' The Northern Barrier of India.' Some interesting obser- 

 vations on the Alluvial Deposits and glacial records of the Upper 

 Indus Basin were communicated by him to this Society, and were 

 published in the Journal for 1873. He was elected among the 

 number of our Eellows in 1858, and soon after his return to this 

 country was chosen into the Council, on which he served during 

 three years, from 1874 to 1876. Those who were privileged with 

 his friendship will cherish as long as they live the recollection of 

 his gentleness, helpfulness, and entire unselfishness, his generous 

 devotion to every cause which seemed to him to be deserving of his 

 sympathy, and his quiet enthusiasm for that domain of natural 

 science to which he had given the labours of his life. Under 

 pressure of ill-health, which would have daunted a less resolute 

 nature, he clung to his duty at Eton until at last driven to seek the 

 milder air of Bournemouth for some relief from the sciatica and 

 attendant complications from which he had long been a sufferer. 

 But it was then too late. He died on the 28th of October last. 



Mr. William Kin^sey Dovee, who died on March 27th, 1891, in his 

 75th year, was elected a Fellow of this Society in 1880. It was 

 only in the latter part of his life that he devoted himself to palaeon- 

 tology, but he was soon successful in making a large collection of 

 fossils from the Skiddaw Slates of the Lake District. This collec- 

 tion he presented in 1890 to the Woodwardian Museum at Cam- 

 bridge. 



EiCHARD BoxALL Grantham, who died in December last, in his 

 86th year, was one of the oldest Eellows of this Society, having 

 been elected in 1833. Erom the year 1823 up to within a few 

 days of his death he was actively engaged in professional work as a 

 civil engineer. In his early years, in association with his father, 

 he was employed in operations for the improvement of the Eiver 

 Shannon. After filling an appointment as County Surveyor in 

 Ireland, he came in 1836 to England, and was at first engaged here
