In him the Royal Society lost its oldest Fellow, both in age and in membership, for he was elected Fellow in 1883, Charles Darwin being one of his proposers. His father, Dr W. A. F. Browne, who was the first Medical Superintendent of the Crichton Royal Mental Hospital at Dumfries, was largely responsible for the high standard of care and treatment of the insane for which this institution has since been famous ; later he became Commissioner in Lunacy in Scotland. It was therefore not surprising that after qualifying in medicine in Edinburgh University at the age of 22, his son decided to devote himself to the study of mental disorders. After serving in junior posts in various county Mental Hospitals he was appointed in 1866 Medical Superintendent of the West Riding Asylum, at Wakefield, a post he held until 1875. It was here his most valuable researches and pioneering work was done.","PeriodicalId":113125,"journal":{"name":"Obituary Notices of Fellows of The Royal Society (1932-1954)","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132874107","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One might have expected that his early love for butterflies and beetles would be eclipsed by the usual pursuits of a rich man in the environment into which he was born as eldest child of the first Baron Rothschild, the head of the famous banking house. But the education at home which deprived him of the leavening influence of other boys tended to bind him firmly to his collections, where he found solace from the supervision by governess and tutor so irksome for the shy and delicate boy. Having ample means and opportunities to indulge in his pastime, the collections had already assumed a considerable size when he went to Bonn and then to Magdalene College, Cambridge. The contacts he made at these Universities gave him a wider outlook in Zoology, but as he had no intention of going in for examinations—his father had taken a first in Botany at Cambridge—his biological education was general rather than intimate in any branch. The details of morphology did not interest him so much as the animal as a whole, and as he had a keen eye for differences in appearance and a very retentive memory he acquired an astonishingly wide knowledge of species in the many groups of animals (and even plants) in which he was interested. At Cambridge he came under the influence of Professor A. Newton, the great ornithologist, and from that time the study of birds became one of his main pursuits.","PeriodicalId":113125,"journal":{"name":"Obituary Notices of Fellows of The Royal Society (1932-1954)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116050352","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

After Eton and Cambridge he entered the offices of a firm of accountants in London and later studied in Chambers.

His early youth was spent at Hamilton and afterwards at Bowmanville where he attended the High School from which he matriculated in 1886. Two years later, after having some training and experience in teaching, he entered the University of Toronto , where he gained various scholastic successes and graduated in Natural Sciences in 1892. His first appointment was as chemist at Sudbury and Cleveland, Ohio, to the Canadian Copper Company, which has now developed in to the International Nickel Company.

Since Tillyard was one of the best known entomologists of the present day his tragic ending came as a shock to m any personal friends in various parts of the world. It appears that the car, in which he was being driven, skidded on a bad patch of road surface which had become greasy owing to a thunderstorm .

By birth and upbringing, Bone was a north countryman and inherited the pride of his race. He was born at Stockton-on-Tees in 1871, the eldest child of Christopher and Mary Elizabeth Bone, both of whom appear to have handed on to their son a goodly heritage. Christopher Bone was a tea merchant and a prominent citizen of the town, taking an active part in its social and political welfare, and being generally respected for his forcefulness, sincerity, fearlessness and independence of thought, speech, and action.","PeriodicalId":113125,"journal":{"name":"Obituary Notices of Fellows of The Royal Society (1932-1954)","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116474823","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

His father, Louis Le Chatelier, was closely associated as an engineer with the construction of the railways of France, Northern Spain, and Southern Austria, with the development of the Siemens-Martin process of steel making, with the production of aluminium, and with other important steps in the evolution of French industry. Both he and his wife came from families which included many names associated with the sciences and the arts. Henry was the eldest of six children, of whom Louis became a director of blast furnaces, Andre a metallurgist of note, and Alfred professor of Mussulman Sociology in the College de France, and one of the inspirers of French policy in Northern Africa. After his schooling at the College Rollin, which he always recalled with pleasure, Henry Le Chatelier entered the Ecole Polytechnique in 1869, and while still a student took part as a sub-lieutenant in the defence of Paris, passing in 1871 to the Ecole des Mines. In the course of the celebration of his scientific jubilee at the Sorbonne in 1922 he gave some reminiscences of his student days, and spoke of the influence of his father and of his professors in inculcating a love of the experimental method and a distrust of purely verbal explanations and of mathematical reasoning claiming to override experimental results. This attitude remained with him to the end.","PeriodicalId":113125,"journal":{"name":"Obituary Notices of Fellows of The Royal Society (1932-1954)","volume":"87 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122291232","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Oldham, who died on 15 July, was the son of Dr. Thomas Oldham (1816-78), in succession professor of geology at Trinity College, Dublin, and director of the Geological Surveys of Ireland and India. Towards the close of his life in India, Thomas Oldham became interested in the earthquakes of that country. He made a careful study of the Cachar earthquake of 1869 on the lines laid down by Robert Mallet. The materials collected by him were brought to England on his retirement from the Survey in 1876, but ill-health prevented the completion of his report, and the notes were returned to India. His valuable “Catalogue of Indian Earthquakes from the Earliest Time to the End of a .d . 1869 ” was also published after his death ( India Geol. Surv. Mem., vol. 19, pt. 1, pp. 1—88 (1882) ; vol. 19, pt. 3, pp. 1—53 (1883) ). Richard Dixon Oldham was born on 31 July, 1858, and was educated at Rugby and the Royal School of Mines. He joined the staff of the Geological Survey of India as assistant-superintendent in 1879, and soon afterwards was dispatched for field-work to the Himalayan district. One of his earliest tasks, however, was the completion, of his father’s memoir on the Cachar earthquake, more than half of which, including the entire discussion of the observations, is due to him. Probably, also, he was responsible for the editing of the catalogue of Indian earthquakes.","PeriodicalId":113125,"journal":{"name":"Obituary Notices of Fellows of The Royal Society (1932-1954)","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124912467","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
