I.—Eminent Living Geologists

It has frequently been asserted that the “born geologist”—as distinguished from the geologist made by education and training—owes his conception chiefly to the formation on which he happens to be born. Nor is it the beauty of the scenery and the attractiveness of firth and fell, mountain and glen, that usually give the impulse in the making of the geologist. It comes in most cases from the fossils he sees strewn around him in quarry or hillside—things that can be collected and fascinate the youthful mind even more than the rocks themselves. But whether the strata or the fossils are the stimulus required, it is beyond dispute that Yorkshire—in which both are conspicuous — takes a leading place in England as the birthplace of so many eminent geologists in the past century, and amongst them the subject of our present sketch worthily deserves to find a place.
