Abstract
BY the death of Albert Gilligan at Storth, near Milnthorpe, on October 14, the science of geology has lost an able exponent. Born on July 26, 1874, he was educated at Wolverhampton Grammar School and at University College, Cardiff. After service as science master at Glossop County School, Gilligan joined the geological staff of the University of Leeds as assistant to Prof. P. F. Kendall. Under the influence of Kendall he became interested in physical geology, particularly that of Yorkshire, and his first published work recorded the denudational effects of a severe storm in that country. This interest remained with him throughout his life.
