 shire, and Buckinghamshire, and contributed notes to Memoirs 

 prepared by his colleagues W. Whitaker and A. H. Green. An 

 able and painstaking worker, he remained but five years on the 

 Geological Survey, as he succeeded to the Polwhele estate in 

 1862. Thereafter his duties as a landowner occupied his chief
