Abstract
THE sudden death on May 12 of Dr. Herbert H. Thomas, petrographer to H.M. Geological Survey, at the early age of fifty-nine years, has caused a sad gap in the ranks of British geologists, and deprived a large circle of a warm friend and helpful adviser. To brilliant academic attainments he added further lustre during his subsequent geological career. His wide interests and accurate knowledge were readily placed at the service of those who consulted him, and his sympathetic nature made him an unusually large circle of friends. To know Thomas was to love him.
