UPFIELD GREEN, F.G.S.
BORN AUGUST 4, 1834. DIED MAY 31, 1917.
OUR old friend Mr. Upfield Green, who had been failing for many months, passed away suddenly at Bristol. He was born in London, educated at Brighton and Neuweid, entered the London and County Bank in 1852, became Master at Stourbridge School in 1855, and the same year Overseer of the Wildberger Hiitte. The mine stopped working in 1860, when Green returned to England and acquired the old printing business of Groom, Wilkinson & Co. He was an enthusiastic geologist, hut wrote nothing, until after thirty years’ observation and study of the geology of Cornwall had given him the key to the tectonics of that county. In 1904 lie published ” Note on the Correlation of some Cornish Beds with the Gedinnian of Continental Europe” (GEOL. MAG., 1904); in 1909, “On the Geological Structure of Western Cornwall” (95th Rep. Roy. Geol. Soc. Cornwall), a paper which brought him the Bolitho Gold Medal; in1912, “Note on the Pollurian-Trewavas Coast Section, Cornwall” (GEOL. MAG., 1912); and in 1913, “On the General Geological Structure of Western Cornwall, with a Note on the Porthluney Dodman Section” (GEOL. MAG., 1913); the last two in conjunction with C. Davies Sherborn. He had the great satisfaction of knowing that his views on this difficult and controversial area were accepted by many of his friends, especially in Belgium, Prance, and Germany.
He was materially assisted in his researches by his personal knowledge of the structure of the North of France, Belgium, and the Rhine, and his familiarity with the fossils of the Continental Devonian rocks. He became a Member of the Geologists’ Association in 1886, and a Fellow of the Geological Society in 1889. He had held for many years a geological ” At Home ” once a month, when he gathered round him many friends.
Born London. Wrote on geological matters. Joined the family firm, Groom Wilkinson & Co, lithographers.
