Abstract
John Parkinson was born in London in 1872 and studied for a time at University College. During 1897 to 1898, he worked at the Marine Biological Station at Naples on Mollusca and published a paper on the development of certain genera in the Report of the British Association in 1899. His attention turned, however, from zoology to geology, and during 1902–3 he was lecturing on that subject at Harrow School. Meanwhile, he was an undergraduate at St. John's, Cambridge, and, as an advanced student, he graduated B.A. by dissertation in 1903.
