Abstract
BY the death of Mr. Horace B. Woodward we have lost a geologist with an unrivalled experience of the stratigraphy of the British Isles. His father, Dr. S. P. Woodward, was engaged in the British Museum; and Horace, who was born in 1848, began his geological career at the age of fifteen in the employment of the Geological Society of London, as assistant in the Library and Museum. In 1867 he obtained an appointment on the Geological Survey under Sir Roderick Murchison, and continued in that department until the end of 1908. During the last seven-and-a-half years of his service he occupied the post of assistant director, and was in charge of the work in England and Wales.
