Abstract
THE death of Prof. Ernest H. L. Schwarz, professor of geology in the Rhodes University College, Grahamstown, leaves South African geology much poorer owing to the loss of his enthusiasm, originality, and ability as a teacher and lecturer. Prof. Schwarz was born in London on Feb. 27, 1873, and educated at Westminster School and the Royal College of Science. His father was a London merchant engaged in the South American trade, but he went to South Africa, being attracted by its mining development, and in 1895 settled in Johannesburg, where he became editor of the Scientific African.
