XXXVI PROCEEDINGS OF THE GEOLOGICAL SOCIETY. 
4to plates, and 216 pages of text, have been published by the 
Palzeontographical Society. 
In Murchison’s ‘Siluria,’? and Lyell’s ‘Manual,’ Mr. Salter’s 
services, with both pen or pencil, are apparent and acknowledged. 
Mr. Salter has also contributed to Sedgwick’s Memoirs, 1844-47, 
Sharpe’s Memoirs (Geol. Proceedings), and the Reports of the British 
Association, 1844—68 (Sections). 
In the published account of the Arctic voyages of Beechey, Om- 
maney, and Penny, the description and correlation of the fossils was 
made by him. Mr. Salter has described fossils from the Himalayas, 
Australia, China, South Africa, Canada, Oregon, &c. &c. 
A list of sixty separate papers by Mr. Salter is given in Bigsby’s 
‘Thesaurus Siluricus, in the preparation of which he was also 
engaged. 
He projected and, conjointly with Mr. Henry Woodward, pre- 
pared a Tabular view of British Fossil Crustacea, showing their 
range in time, which was engraved and published by Mr. J. W. 
Lowry, in 1865, and, but for the great expense attending the 
engraving, several other groups were also intended to be tabulated. 
In 1865, Mr. Salter received the ‘‘ Wollaston Donation-fund ” 
from the Geological Society, m recognition of his valuable services 
to paleontology, and especially for his Monograph on Trilobites, 
then in course of publicatien by the Paleeontographical Society. 
After his retirement from the office of Palzontologist to the 
Geological Survey in 1863, he was engaged at various times in 
arranging and naming the Paleozoic Invertebrata of the Manchester, 
Leicester, Leeds, Worcester, Malvern, Taunton, and Cambridge 
Museum collections; he also executed numerous plates and wood- 
cuts. A catalogue (illustrated by himself) of the Cambrian and 
Silurian fossils in the Woodwardian Museum was one of the last 
tasks which he undertook; it remains uncompleted, as does his 
Monograph on the Trilobites. 
It is difficult to say what combination of official conditions could 
have been found better suited to him than those in which he was 
placed. He often pictured the happiness of a post in the British 
Museum ; but it is doubtful, had he realized his hope, whether his 
health would have improved. Those who knew him well will 
remember how cheerful and light-hearted he was at times; he was, 
in many ways, remarkably like a child, fond of boyish athletic 
sports, a lover of Nature, fond of wild flowers and domestic pet 
animals, which he encouraged his children to keep. Anon he 
would be fretful and irritable, often without any reasonable cause, 
proving that the chronic ill-health of which he complained was 
certainly mental. 
His staunch friends, Murchison and Sedgwick, helped him right 
manfully throughout, and he had many friends in the West of 
England and of Scotland, who gladly weleomed him to their homes 
and cordially sympathized with him. But though he spoke cheer- 
fully and hopefully after resigning his post at Jermyn Street, there 
is no doubt that he regretted the step he had taken.
