Abstract
CHARLES CONSTANT WILFRID KILIAN, whose death is announced at sixty-three years of age, was one of the most eminent of French geologists. For thirty-three years professor at the University of Grenoble, he was a man of enormous industry, his published papers and memoirs numbering nearly,a thousand. The range of his work was very wide, but he is best known by his classic researches into the stratigraphy and tectonic structure of the French Alps, and by his palaeontological work, dealing chiefly with the Lower Cretaceous Cephalopoda; on this group he was acknowledged to be the leading authority.
