Field See also:Club. In 1852 he went to See also:Australia and for about eight years worked at the See also:gold-diggings, where he acquired a See also:practical knowledge of ore-deposits. In 186o he proceeded to Nova See also:Scotia to take See also:charge of some gold-mines, and there met with a serious injury, which led to his return to See also:England. In 1861 he issued a See also:separate See also:work entitled See also:Mineral See also:Veins: an Enquiry into their Origin, founded on a Study of the Auriferous See also:Quartz Veins of Australia. Later on he was engaged for about three years at Dolgelly, another though small gold-See also:mining region, and here he carefully investigated the rocks and fossils of the Lingula Flags, his observations being published in an important and now classic memoir in the See also:Geological See also:Magazine for 1867. In the following See also:year he was appointed to take charge of some mines in See also:Nicaragua, where he passed four active and adventurous years—the results being given in his Naturalist in Nicaragua (1874), a work of high merit. In this See also:volume the author expressed his views on the former presence of glaciers in that See also:country. In subsequent papers he dealt boldly and suggestively with the phenomena of the Glacial See also:period in See also:Britain and in various parts of the See also:world. After many further expeditions to See also:Russia. See also:Siberia and See also:Colorado, he died at See also:Denver on the 21st of See also:September 1878.
