IN MEMORIAM : C. E. FOX-STRANGWAYS, F.G.S. 157 
On being transferred to the Midlands in 1889, he changed 
his residence to Leicester and remained there until his retirement 
from the Survey in 1904, when he removed to the neighbourhood 
of London. During his later years on the Survey he mapped the 
Leicestershire coalfield and the surrounding country, north- 
ward beyond Chamwood Forest to the Trent and eastward 
to Melton Mowbray. Impaired health, due to an affected 
heart, debarred him from hard exertion in the field after his 
retirement, and gradually curtailed his activities in most direc- 
tions, but he carried on his scientific literary labours to the end. 
Death overtook him suddenly at his desk on March 5th, 1910, 
just as he was finishing an exhaustive bibliography of Yorkshire 
Geology. He was buried in his native Devonshire village. 
He was a widower and had no children. 
The major part of Fox-Strangways' scientific writings is 
embodied in the Memoirs of the Geological Survey, twenty-two 
of which carry his name either as sole author or part author. 
Among those which were written entirely by him are the two 
well known volumes containing a general account of the Jurassic 
rocks of Yorkshire, also the smaller " sheet " memoirs on the 
country north and east of Harrogate ; on the country south 
of Scarborough ; on the country north and west of Malton ; on 
the country north-east of York and south of Malton ; and on the 
underground water supply of the East Riding. In the Midland 
district he was likewise entirely responsible for memoirs on the 
Leicestershire and South Derbyshire Coalfield ; on the country 
between Atherstone and Chamwood Forest ; on the country 
near Leicester ; and on the country between Derby and Lough- 
borough. (The full titles of all the memoirs to which he con- 
tributed, as well as of his principal unofficial papers are contained 
in an obituary notice which appeared in the Geological Magazine 
for May, 1910 ; dec. 5, vol. VII., pp. 235-8). 
Among the papers which he published unofficially were 
several in our Proceedings ; — on the Harrogate Wells, in 1885 ; 
on Glacial Phenomena near York in 1895 ; on the Coast between 
Redcar and Scarborough, in 1897 ; on Filey Bay and Brigg, in 
1898 ; and on the Coast between Hay burn Wyke and Filey in 
the same year. He further contributed an important paper on the 
VaUeys of North-east Yorkshire and their mode of formation to 
the Transactions of the Leicester Lit. and Phil. Soc, in 1894.
