Abstract
WITH the death on March 30 at the age of eighty-two years of Thomas Henry Digges La Touche, the Geological Survey of India has lost its oldest member. Educated at Shrewsbury and St. John's College, Cambridge, that breeding-place of geologists, he was appointed to the Geological Survey of India in 1881, promoted superintendent in 1894 and acted as director in 1906 and 1909, retiring in 1910.
