All this work was so much training for the main object he 
had in view, viz, to become a practical geologist. In this 
connexion, during a short trip to Switzerland in the autumn 
of 1866, he met Marshall Hall, through whom he obtained 
introductions to several well-known geologists. From such 
men as Morris, Etheridge, and Blake, to mention no others, 
he received instruction in palaeontology, and thus early in 
the seventies he was sufficiently advanced to be able to 
contribute to the literature of his favourite study. He 
became a Fellow of the Geological Society in May 1867, just 
a fortnight before he changed his name to Hudleston. 
From the year 1872 onwards he continued to write 
papers on various geological subjects, while he also partici¬ 
pated in the management of the several societies with which 
he was connected. It is probable that he was the only person 
who has been Secretary and President, both of the Geologists’ 
Association and of the Geological Society. In 1897 he was 
awarded the Wollaston Medal; in 1898 he was President of 
Section C at the Bristol meeting of the British Association ; 
and so recently as last summer (1908) he was deputed by 
the Council to represent the Geological Society of London 
at the Darwin-Wallace Jubilee meeting of the Linnean 
Society. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 
1884. 
Mr. Hudleston died at his residence. West Holme, Ware- 
ham, on January 29th, 1909.
