| Citation | Director Geological Survey of India. Assoc Roy Coll Sci. Late Berkeley Fellow, Owens College; ex-Professor of Geology, Presidency College, Calcutta. Author of many reports and papers on the geology of India and on the petrology of Indian rocks; upon the latter subject especially much light has been thrown by his researches. Amongst the numerous subjects treated by him are: - 'The Occurrence of Riebeckite in India' (Records, Geol Survey, India, 1892); 'Phosphatic Mica-peridotites in the Lower Gondwana Rocks of Bengal' (ibid, 1894); 'Nonites and Associated Basic Dykes and Lava-flows in Southern India' (ibid, 1897); 'The Charnockite series, a group of Archaean hypersthene rocks in Peninsular India' (Mem Geol Survey, India, vol xxviii, 1900); 'Geology of the neighbourhood of Salem' (ibid, vol xxx, 1900); 'The Sivamalai series of Eleilite and Corundum-syenites' (ibid, vol xxx, 1901); 'The Mica-desposits of India' (ibid, xxxiv, 1902). He has also published new and original views on 'Rock-weathering and Serpentinization' (Geol Mag, 1899), and on 'The Constitution, Origin, and Dehydration of Laterite' (ibid, 1903). Has successfully applied Physical Geology to the solution of questions in practical engineering in his 'Report on the Gohra Landslips' (Records, 1894), and in his 'Structure and Stability of Naini Tal' (1897). He has contributed to Indian Anthropology in papers on 'The Coorgs and Yerewas, an ethnological contrast' (Journ Asiatic Soc Beng, vol lxx, 1901), and 'The Kanets of Kulu and Lahaul' (Journ Anthrop Inst, vol xxxiii, 1902). |
