Abstract

WE have to record the death of General John Theophilus Beaulieu, F. R. S., at the age of eighty-one years. He entered the Indian Army in 1820 as a lieutenant in the Bengal Engineers, and was for some time Superintending Engineer in the Public Works Department for the N. W. Provinces. Among other services to science and to India, General Beaulieu inaugurated the system of magnetic observations in India, and was the author of a book of logarithms of wide reputation. General Beaulieu was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society fifty years ago, and has served on its Council.
