Abstract
DR. HERBERT LAPWORTH died on September 18 at his home in Sutton, Surrey, at the age of fifty-eight years. He was the younger son of Prof. Charles Lapworth, F.R.S., and was educated at King Edward VI School, Birmingham, and at the University of Birmingham. Afterwards he was articled to the late James Mansergh, and during his pupilage he was for some time engaged on the Elan Valley water supply scheme for Birmingham, and later as an assistant resident engineer on the same undertaking. It was during this period that he carried out the field work placed on record in an admirable paper entitled ‘The Silurian Sequence of Rhayader’ published by the Geological Society of London, which threw much light upon a geologically difficult district.
