Abstract
BY the death of Dr. Charles William Andrews on May 25, British palaeontology loses one of its foremost exponents. Born at Hampstead in 1866, he graduated in both arts and-science in the University of London, and began his career as a schoolmaster. He was, however, always deeply interested in biological and geological science, and in 1892 he became the successful candidate in a competitive examination for an assistant-ship in the Department of Geology in the British Museum (Natural History). Here he found ample scope for following his inclinations and exercising his abilities, and in 1900 he received the degree,of D.Sc. in the University of London, as a recognition of the value of his original researches.
