Abstract
THE ranks of the amateur geologists have been seriously thinned by the death of Edgar Sterling Cobbold on November 20, in his eighty-sixth year. The son of a surgeon who was greatly interested in natural history, he studied engineering at the Owens College and, after some fifteen years' practice, retired to Church Stretton in 1886. Here he at once threw himself into the study of the district, taking an active part in the proceedings of local natural history societies, and contributing extensively on archaeology and geology to both scientific and popular guides to the area.
