332 IX MEMORIAM : REV. JOHN HAWELL, M.A., F.G.S. 
At the General Meeting he read a paper on an interesting peat 
deposit at Stokesley. 
Mr. Hawell was a member of the Committee for the Investi- 
gation of the Underground Waters of Malham, and took an 
active part in the earher work, having charge of one of the stream 
gauges. He was also much interested in the glacial survey of 
the Cleveland Hills, carried out by Professor Kendall, and was 
his companion in many a long tramp over moor and hill. 
He had the liveliest interest in Field Geology, and had 
a keen eye for a fossil as well as a clear grasp of the meaning 
of the features of a landscape, and his investigations on the 
glaciology of his own district were well in advance of the general 
knowledge on that subject. He had made a careful study of 
the boulders of the parish of Ingleby Greenliow, and Professor 
Kendall, in his paper on the Glacier Lakes of Cleveland, adds 
a note in which, speaking of the fact that the immense number 
of Cheviot rocks in the Yorkshire drift had only been fully 
recognised by Geologists within the last three or four years 
(1902), adds : — " It is right that I should add that their abundance 
in our drift deposits was fulty demonstrated by the Rev. John 
Hawell, in 1887, w^ho reported upon 365 boulders, a large pro- 
portion of which were derived from the Cheviots." Also with 
regard to tlie overflow-notch from the Ingleby Greenliow glacier- 
lake into Bilsdale, Professor Kendall, in the same paper says, 
" This overflow was recognised by the Rev. John Hawell before 
my survey had extended so far eastward." 
The Yorkshire Naturalists' Union also will miss in him 
a vigorous and inspiring worker. He occupied the position of 
Secretary and President successively of the Geological Section, 
and at the time of his death he was Divisional Secretary for 
the North-east Division of Yorkshire, and was a member of 
several of the Committees of Research. Mr. Hawell was an 
interested worker in fields of investigation other than that of 
Geology. He gave much time and strength to the advancement 
of the Cleveland Field Naturalists' Club, and w^as its President 
for several years. He was Editor of the Club's Proceedings, and 
contributed many interesting and valuable papers on various 
features of the Natural History of North-east Yorkshire. One
