Vol. 65.] ANNIVERSARY ADDRESS OF THE PRESIDENT. lxiii 



In 1895 Mr. and Mrs. Hudleston, accompanied by Prof. J. F. 

 Blake, sailed for Bombay : after leaving Blake at Baroda, they 

 visited the North- West Frontier, then crossed the Punjab, journeyed 

 up the banks of the Indus, ascended Mount Tilla, and then went 

 on to Bawal Pindi. The observations made on this journey 

 were published as ' Notes on Indian Geology ' by the Geologists' 

 Association in 1896. 



Hudleston's magnum opus, which was published in 1897, is the 

 Monograph of the Inferior Oolite Gasteropoda, a volume of 

 544 pages and 44 plates. It was based on a magnificent collection 

 of several thousand specimens contained in his own museum. 



In the same year as this work appeared he received the Wollaston 

 Medal, as a well-deserved recognition of his contributions to 

 chemical, mineralogical, palaeontological, and stratigraphical geology. 



In 1898 he was President of the Geological Section of the 

 British Association at its meeting in Bristol, and delivered one 

 of his usual thoughtful addresses on the problems presented by 

 the geology of the surrounding district. 



Amongst his latest work is a paper on the Tanganyika problem. 

 It affords a striking illustration of his remarkable power of 

 depicting the geology of a district which he had not visited. Its 

 conclusions are sound, and clearly prove that the freshwater fauna 

 of the lake is not descended from marine Jurassic forms modified 

 in place. 



From 1886 to 1901 Hudleston was one of the editors of the 

 ' Geological Magazine.' 



In 1890 he married Pose, second daughter of William Heywood 

 Benson, of Little Thorpe, Pipon. He lived for some years at 

 Cheyne Walk, Chelsea, but afterwards at 8 Stanhope Gardens, 

 •South Kensington, and West Holme, near Wareham. 



A remarkably active and energetic man, he enjoyed fairly good 

 health up to the last ; on January 29th, 1909, after returning from 

 a walk, he. died from sudden failure of the heart. 



An accurate and industrious observer, a clear thinker, as searching 

 in criticism as he was skilful in construction, and as able in 

 exposition as he was fortunate in discovery, he nobly maintained 

 the traditions of the great masters in our science. In losing him 

 we lose one of our ' best friends.'
