time, and he commenced to investigate the See also:Silurian rocks of the See also:Southern Uplands, and to study the See also:graptolites and other fossils which See also:mark horizons in the See also:great See also:series of See also:Lower Palaeozoic rocks. His first See also:paper on the Lower Silurian rocks of Galashiels was published in 187o, and from that date onwards he continued to enrich our knowledge of the southern uplands of See also:Scotland until the publication by the See also:Geological Society of his masterly papers on The See also:Moffat Series (1878) and The See also:Girvan See also:Succession (1882.). Meanwhile in 1875 he became an assistant master in the See also:Madras College, St See also:Andrews, and in 1881 See also:professor of geology and See also:mineralogy (afterwards geology and physiography) in the See also:- MASON, FRANCIS (1799—1874)

Mason College, now University of See also:Birmingham. In 1882 he started See also:work in the Durness-Eriboll See also:district of the Scottish See also:Highlands, and made out the true succession of the rocks, and interpreted the complicated structure which had baffled most of the previous observers. His results were published in " The See also:Secret of the Highlands " (Geol. Mag., 1883). His subsequent work includes papers on the See also:Cambrian rocks of See also:Nuneaton and the Ordovician rocks of See also:Shropshire. The See also:term Ordovician was introduced by him in 1879 for the strata between the See also:base of the Lower See also:Llandovery formation and that of the Lower Arenig; and it was intended to See also:settle the confusion arising from the use by some writers of Lower Silurian and by others of Upper Cambrian for the same set of rocks. The term Ordovician is now generally adopted. Professor Lapworth was elected F.R.S. in 1888, he received a royal See also:medal in 1891, and was awarded the See also:Wollaston medal by the Geological Society in 1899. He was See also:president of the Geological Society, 1902–1904. His Inter-mediate See also:Text-See also:book of Geology was published in 1899.
