Notes From Elsewhere

DR. HENRY MARK AMI, who died at Menton, southern France, on Jan, 4, aged seventy-two years, was a well-known geologist who had made valuable contributions to our knowledge of the Palaeozoic rocks and fossils of Canada. He was born in Geneva, the son of a Swiss Protestant clergyman who emigrated to Canada when he was a child. He was at school in Ottawa, and thence proceeded to McGill University, where he had a distinguished career and came under the influence of the eminent Canadian geologist, Sir J. William Dawson, who was at that time Principal of the University. He graduated as M.A. and D.Sc. in 1882, and in the same year he joined the staff of the Geological Survey of Canada, from which he retired in 1912.
