Abstract
THE total number of British geologists wholly engaged in a professional capacity in pre-war years was probably less than six hundred, nearly one quarter of whom were occupied in the teaching of the science, principally in the universities. To some extent this high proportion of geologists engaged in academic spheres is due to the fact that large classes of technical students in mining, metallurgy, civil engineering, and agriculture require tuition in geology as a part of their professional training.
