826 HORACE BOLINGBROKE WOODWARD, F.R.S., F.G.S. 
Among his other publications he wrote Memorials of ( Rev.) 
John Gunn, formerly Rector of Irstead (1891), whose remark- 
able collection of Forest Bed Pleistocene Mammalia from the 
Norfolk coast now adorns the Norwich Castle Museum. 
His next extensive piece of work was the writing of three 
volumes of a memoir on the Jurassic Rocks of Britain, which 
necessitated several years spent in visiting the numerous 
exposures ; but this work was much hindered by official calls, 
which every year became more pressing. He was able, how- 
ever, at intervals, after 1892, to aid in the mapping of the 
Jurassic strata in Scotland, including Skye and Raasay, and 
was the first to point out the presence in Raasay of a bed of 
iron-ore, which is now recognised to be of high commercial 
value. 
In 1893 he was appointed, on the death of Mr. William 
Topley, to take charge of the Geological Survey Office in 
Jermyn Street, London, under Sir Archibald Geikie, and from 
that time the endless duties of inspection, editing, and official 
correspondence left him little leisure for original work. In 
time Horace Woodward’s responsible position was recognized 
and he became Assistant Director for England and Wales; but 
this led to no lessening of the amount of routine work. In his 
spare time he still worked hard, and to him we owe the History 
of the Geological Society of London prepared for the Centenary 
of 1907 (8vo., pp. xx., 336). Besides contributing to the 
Scottish memoir on Glenelg, etc. (1910), he took the principal 
share in the water-supply memoirs of Lincolnshire (1904) and 
Bedfordshire and North Hants (1909). He also wrote a 
memoir on the London district (1909), and one on soils and 
subsoils which passed through a second edition (1906). 
Mr. Horace Woodward was an Honorary Member of the 
Yorkshire Philosophical Society, the Cotteswold Naturalists’ 
Field Club, and the Essex Field Club. He was elected a 
Fellow of the Geological Society of London, 1868 ; he served 
on the Council eleven years, and was a Vice-President 1904-6. 
He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1896.
