Abstract
DR. JOHN HARLEY, who died at Beedings, Pul-borough, on December 9 last, aged eighty-eight, was born in Shropshire, where he studied the geology of the region round Ludlow. He specially investigated the microscopical structure of the skeletal fragments in the Ludlow bone-bed, and published an important paper on this subject in the Quarterly Journal of the Geological Society in 1861. During the following years, while physician at King's College Hospital, London, he contributed several notes on drugs to the Pharmaceutical Journal. He also wrote a memoir on the parasitism of the mistletoe, published by the Linnean Society in 1863. Dr. Harley bequeathed his geological collection to the Ludlow Museum.
