Abstract
GEORGE THTJRLAND PRIOR, keeper of minerals in the British Museum from 1909 until 1927, died on March 7 at the age of seventy-three years. He went to the Department of Minerals at the Museum at the close of a successful career at Magdalen College, Oxford, where he had gained a demyship in natural science in 1881, and a first class in the Honour School in Chemistry (1885) and Physics (1886). He studied for a short time in Germany, and entered the British Museum in 1887 a few years after the opening of the new building for the Natural History Departments.
