| Citation | Has taken a leading place among the petrographical geologists of this country, having enriched the literature of the science with important original contributions. Among these special mention may be of the following: - 'The Patton and Wicken Phosphatic Deposit' (Sedgwick Prize Essay, 1875); 'Petrological Notes on some North of England Dykes' (Quart Journ Geol Soc, 1884, p 209); 'On the Chemical and Microscopical Characters of the Whin Sill' (op cit, p 640); 'The Metamorphism of Dolerite into Hornblede-schist' (op cit, 1885, p 133); 'The Lizard Gabbros' (Geol Mag, 1886, p 481); 'On the Origin of certain Banded Gneisses' (op cit, 1887, p 484). In 1888 he published a valuable treatise on 'British Petrography,' containing the results of much original research, and presenting for the first time a general review of the microscopic characters of all known British rocks. In the same year he was appointed to the Geological Survey, where he is specially charged with the investigation of the petrography of the crystalline schists. |
