Abstract
MR. REGINALD WILLIAM HOOLEY, whose death on May 5 at the age of fifty-seven we regret to record, devoted many years to the study of the geology of the Isle of Wight, and to the systematic exploration of the Wealden rocks of the south coast. He made an important collection of the remains of reptiles and fishes from the cliffs between Brook and Atherfield, and established a small museum at his residence at Winchester. He also acquired an excellent knowledge of the Wealden reptiles, which he extricated from the hard rock with great skill, and he wrote several important papers on his specimens. He described new Chelonia in the Geological Magazine in 1897 and 1900.
