    Kilkenny, Ireland (Irish Acad. Trans. 1871). On Stagonolepis Robertsoni, etc. (Q.J.G.S. 1875). On the evidence as to the Origin of existing Vertebrate Animals (lectures, Nature, 1876). The Rise and Progress of Palaeontology (Nature, No. 24, 1881). The Coming-of-age of the “Origin of Species” (1880, Roy. Inst. Proc. 9, 1882).—It will be seen that Professor Huxley was a frequent contributor to the pages of the Geological Magazine, and was one of its constant supporters since its commencement in 1864. * His last paper to the Geological Society was “ Further Observations upon Hyperodapedon Gordoni,” read May 11, 1887 : see Q.J.G.S., vol. xliii, p. 675, pis. xxvi and xxvii. His latest work (published in conjunction with Dr. Pelsener) is on Spirula (“ Challenger ” Keports), 1895. “ Four kings laboured to build a mighty hall, the Hall of a Hundred Columns, at Karnak. In a century they built it, and they died; but the hall remains. Four men [Darwin, Tyndall, Huxley, Spencer], more than all others, have raised up within this century an edifice which is the crowning glory of British science; and before the century closes three of them are dead. But the edifice stands, and will stand, as a lasting monument to the power of truth and fearless investigation.”—Pall Mall Gazette.
