HORACE BOLINGBROKE WOODWARD, F.R.S., F.G.S. 827 
The value of his work was recognized by the Geological 
Society in the successive awards of the Murchison Geological 
Fund in 1885, the Murchison Medal in 1897, and the Wollaston 
Medal in 1909. Mr. Horace Woodward was President of the 
Geologists’ Association, 1893-4. 
He married Miss Alice Jennings at Dorking, on June 5th, 
1873 ; she died in 1902. He leaves one daughter, now mairied 
(Mrs. Sydney Barnwell). 
During the last five years Mr. Horace Woodward had suffered 
severely at times from an internal malady, but in spite of his 
drawbacks his Spartan courage enabled him to continue his 
literary labours, and he brought out the following works : E. 
Stanford’s Geological Atlas of Great Britain and Ireland (1907, 
pp. x., 160, explanatory and descriptive geology with numerous 
maps and illustrations ; a third edition, including the Channel 
Islands, has just appeared) ; The Geology of Water Supply 
(Arnold’s Geological Series, 1910, 8vo., pp. x., 340) ; The 
Geology of Soils and Substrata (1912, pp. xvi., 366); and, 
jointly with Dr. Henry Woodward, a Table of British Strata 
(Dulau & Co.). He also contributed the geological chapters to 
several volumes of the Victoria County Histories. As Assistant 
Editor of the Geological Magazine he has for many years 
written very numerous reviews and notices of current 
geological literature up to the last. 
Mr. Woodward died at his residence, 85, Coombe Road, 
Croydon, on Friday, February 6th, 1914, and was interred at 
Brookwood on February 10th. His memory is warmly 
cherished by his colleagues on the Geological Survey and by a 
large circle of geologists both in the Geological Society and the 
Geologists’ Association. C.R.
