200 The American Geologist. ^J"'^- i^^^s 
In his connection with the survey he was several times 
called upon to expose frauds ; and after he had become 
convinced on thorough examination of the facts, he left 
those concerned in no doubt as to his conclusions and con- 
victions. 
He was a consistent and active member of the Episco- 
pal church and very generous in his support of it, respond- 
ing cheerfully to all the calls made upon his time and 
means. 
It is said of him that as a child and a young boy he 
had never received a correction from either parent or 
teacher and he never neglected a task set before him ; these 
characteristics followed him through life. 
Mr. MicCalley was a member of the American Asso- 
ciation for the Advancement of Science; fellow of the 
Geological Society of America ; member of the American 
Institute of Mining Engineers ; secretary of the Alabama 
Industrial and Scientific Society, etc.
