Eocks of England" (with Prof. J. F. Blake (1877)) soon established his 

 reputation as one of our leading geologists. 



Mr. Hudleston was elected President of the Geologists' Association in 

 1881, and his great services rendered to that body during so many years 

 were marked, in March, 1892, by the presentation of an illuminated address. 



From 1886 to 1890 he filled the post of Secretary to the Geological 

 Society of London and, in succession to Sir A. Geikie, he was elected President 

 (1892 — 94). In these years, in addition to his official duties both in 

 connection with the Geological Society and the Geologists' Association, 

 Mr. Hudleston proved himself an able and prolific contributor to the 

 literature of geology. Some twenty papers were written by him on the 

 field-geology of various districts, eight on Chemical Geology, for which he had 

 always a strong predilection, dealt with the Lizard Eocks ; the Gneiss Eocks 

 of the N.W. Highlands ; Sterry Hunt's Chemical Essays ; King and 

 Eowney's views on Eozoon Cana dense; the Diamond-rock of S. Africa; 

 and Sterry Hunt's views on Serpentines. In Palaeontology he published 

 Monographs on the Corallian Gasteropoda of Yorkshire (1880 — 81). The 

 Gasteropoda of the Portland Eocks (1881) and of the Oxfordian and Lower 

 Oolites of Yorkshire (1882 — 85), the Gasteropoda of the Infei'ior Oolite 

 (1887—96), this latter comprising 514 quarto pages of letterpress and 

 44 quarto plates of fossils ; a Catalogue of British Jurassic Gasteropoda 

 (with Mr. E. Wilson), and papers on the Fossils of Western Australia and 

 South Australia. 



To this period must also be added Presidential Addresses to the Geologists' 

 Association " On Deep-Sea Investigation " (1881), on the Geology of 

 Palestine (1882, with additional notes in 1885), to the Malton Field 

 Naturalists' Society (1884), and the Devonshire Association (1889); lastly, 

 two Presidential Addresses to the Geological Society (1893 — 94), and one, 

 later, as President of Section (C) Geology, British Association, Bristol 

 (1898). 



On the death of his old friend, Prof. Morris, in 1886, Mr. Hudleston 

 succeeded him as one of the editors of the ' Geological Magazine,' to which 

 journal, since 1879, he had been a frequent contributor, and continued so 

 until his death in the present year. He was a keen student of recent and 

 fossil mollusca and one of the founders of the Malacological Society. 



In 1886, accompanied by Dr. Henry Woodward, F.E.S., and Mr. C. E. 

 Eobinson, M.Inst.C.E., he carried out some experimental dredgings, 

 with a Brixham trawler and her crew, along the English Channel, and in 

 and near Torbay, in order to study marine mollusca and observe their living 

 habitats. In the following year he engaged a Grimsby steam trawler and 

 her crew, and accompanied by Mr. C. E. Eobinson and the late Martin F. 

 Woodward, of the Eoyal College of Science, he spent three weeks in a 

 dredging cruise in the English Channel and along the French coast. 



Mr. Hudleston resided for many years in Cheyne Walk, Chelsea, but 

 removed in 1883 to Oatlands Park, Surrey. This suburban residence,
