ALFRED JOHN JUKES-BROWNE, F.R.S., F.G.S. 
1851—1914. 
Northern - geologists have long been familiar with the name 
of A. J. Jukes-Browne, whose careful work among the Cretac- 
eous rocks is so well-known. Though a voluminous writer 
and a good correspondent, Jukes-Browne was rarely seen in 
the field, as he possessed only a partial use of his limbs, not- 
withstanding which he continued his work as a geological 
surveyor for twenty years after he was unable to walk. 
He was born near Wolverhampton, his mother being a 
sister of J. Beete Jukes, the distinguished geologist, and as 
soon as he became of age, young Browne added the name of 
Jukes to his own. 
Jukes-Browne’s most important work was in connection 
with his studies of the zones of the English chalk, following 
the broad lines first laid down by Barrois. He was the author 
of many papers on this subject in the geological journals ; 
his well-known volumes on ‘ The Cretaceous Rocks of Britain,’ 
published by the Geological Survey, being a masterly summary 
of the subject. 
Among his earlier contributions were some important 
papers on the glacial beds of Lincolnshire and East Anglia. 
These first put the present writer into communication with 
him, and he still possesses piles of foolscap copies of papers 
lent by Jukes-Browne for the purpose. 
Besides the work already referred, to, Jukes-Browne wrote 
a number of the smaller Geological Survey Memoirs, and 
papers innumerable ; the Geological Magazine alone accounting 
for over a hundred between 1871 and 1914. 
Of general text books, he was the author of ‘ A Students’ 
Handbook of Physical Geology,’ and a ‘ Handbook of Strati- 
graphical Geology,’ each of which reached two editions ; a 
Handbook of Historical Geology,’ and ‘ The Building of the 
British Isles,’ which last was perhaps the best known of his 
contributions, and reached a third edition in 1911. 
He retired from the Geological Survey in 1902, and went 
to Torquay, where he resided till his death on August 14th. 
T. S. 
URIAH BAIRSTOW. 
1847—1914. 
Early in September occured the death of Uriah Bairstow, of 
Halifax, who was exceedingly well-known to Yorkshire natural- 
ists, probably all of whom will be surprised to learn that he 
had reached his 68th year. Recently he had been suffering 
1014 Oct. 1.
