Abstract
A GREAT gap has been made in the ranks of active geologists by the death of William Topley, which took place on the night of Sunday, September 30, at his house at Croydon. He was taken ill, with gastritis, probably from the use of contaminated water, in Algiers, during a short visit, made in reference to its geology; and he fell, therefore, in the fighting line of those who apply their scientific knowledge for the good of mankind.
