Abstract
BY the death of Dr. George Jennings Hinde on March 18 another pioneer in the modern methods of studying fossils has passed away. Dr. Hinde devoted the greater part of his long life to the investigation of the remains of the lower invertebrate animals, which need careful and often laborious preparation for the microscope before they can be examined. He thus contributed much to geology by adding to our knowledge of rock-forming organisms, and at the same time promoted the advance of zoology by his discovery and description of many kinds of calcareous and siliceous skeletons, which were either entirely new or revealed new facts in distribution.
