MEMORIAL TO SIR EDWARD B. BAILEY, KT., M.C., F.R.S. (1881-1965)

A. G. MACC/RUGOK 45 rhurbnrn Road, Edinburgh,

Sir Edward Bailey, a geologist of the highest inter- national repute in the spheres of tectonics and ig- neous action, died in London on March 19, 1965, at the age of 83. He had been, in his time, held and petrographic worker and District Geologist on the Geological Survey of Great Britain, Professor of Geology in Glasgow University, and Director of the Geological Survey and Museum. Bailey's international eminence is attested by his Presidency of the International Pre-Cambrian As- sociation (1934-1937); by his election to foreign membership of the national scientific academies of Norway, India, the United States of America, Bel- gium, and Switzerland; by Honorary Fellowship of the Geological Societies of Amer- ica and of France; and by an honorary doctorate conferred by Harvard University (1936). At home he was awarded honorary doc torates by the Universities of Birming- ham (1939), Glasgow (1946). Belfast (1946), Cambridge (1952), and Edinburgh (1964). Edward Battersby Bailey, son of a medical practitioner, was born in 1881 in Marden, Kent. From Kendal Grammar School, in Westmorland, he won an open scholarship to Clare College, Cambridge, in 1899. He graduated in 1902 with first- class honors (in both physics and geology) in Part II of the Natural Sciences Tripos, and won the Harkncss scholarship. Many years later he was elected an Honorary Fellow of Clare College (1944). Bailey joined the Geological Survey in 1902 and worked in Scotland as a Geologist until 1915. In that year he was commissioned in the Royal Garrison Artillery, in which he served as a subaltern in France. He was twice wounded, suffering the loss of an eye and severe injury to his left arm. He gained the Military Cross and the French Croix de Guerre with palm, and was made a Chevalier of the Legion d'Hon- neur. On returning from the war in 1919 Bailey became District Geologist for the West Highlands and Islands, Renfrewshire and Ayrshire. He supervised work in these areas until he retired in December 1929 to become Professor of Geology in Glasgow. Between 1902 and 1930 Bailey was concerned with fourteen Geological Survey Memoirs and the corresponding color-printed "one-inch" maps. He thus gained in- valuable first-hand knowledge of Lewisian (Coll, Tiree, lona), Torridonian (Colon- say, lona) Moine Schists (), Dalradian Schists (S.W. Highlands), Ordovician and Silurian (Ayrshire), Devonian (Lome, , Ayrshire), Car- P 31

boniferous, and Permian (, Glasgow, Ayrshire), Triassic, Jurassic, Creta- ceous, and Tertiary (Mull, , and Ardnamurchan), and of glacial geology and raised-beach formation. In the case of igneous rocks (which are abundant in all the areas mentioned) and of metamorphic rocks, Bailey's work from the outset involved much detailed microscopic petrography. His early publications included petrological descriptions of the Carboniferous vol- canic rocks and associated intrusions of East and of the Campsie Fells near Glasgow (1910, 1911). In association with C. T. Clough and H. B. Maufe he demon- strated Devonian ring-fracture, cauldron-subsidence, and ring-dyke formation in and traced great recumbent folds in the neighboring schists. The official account of these remarkable discoveries, first described to the Geological Society of London in 1909 and 1910, was given in a Memoir compiled by Bailey (The Geology of Ben Nevis and Glen Coe, 1916; 2d, extensively revised, edition, 1960). Bailey was also a member of Clough's Survey team which worked on the Tertiary volcanic com- plex of central Mull. Clough met a tragic death in 1916, and Bailey took charge when he returned from the war. His compilation of the classic Mull Tertiary Memoir (1924), and of the accompanying complex "one-inch" map and large-scale relief model, was recognized as a major scientific achievement. Mull provided evidence of a caldera-lake with pillow-lavas, of ring-dykes, of innumerable cone-sheets, and of a great dyke-swarm. In several ring-dykes, evidence indicated the operation of gravity- controlled differentiation in the production of a gradual change from granophyre to gabbro over vertical distances measured in hundreds of feet. Eruption from a central volcano, rather than from dyke-fissures, was favored as the origin of the extensive "plateau lavas." Confirmation was not obtained of the reality of an alleged "Great Group of basic sills" concordantly intrusive in the lavas. Bailey and H. H. Thomas were responsible for the petrology; Bailey defined such terms as "cone-sheet," "ring- dyke," "screen," and "composite" and "multiple" as applied to minor intrusions. He and Thomas introduced the concept of "magma-type" and "magma-series." Bailey thoroughly enjoyed his time as Professor in Glasgow. Besides continuing his own researches, he guided students in important investigations in the Highlands and Lowlands and collaborated with members of his staff: for instance with W. J. McCallien in work on schists in Scotland and Antrim and with J. Weir on Mesozoic rocks in . With Weir and McCallien he wrote a geological text-book (pub- lished in 1939). In 1937, he was offered, and accepted, the Directorship of the Geological Survey and Museum, and left Glasgow. Bailey's Survey Directorate (1937-1945) was mainly in time of war. He was thus chiefly concerned with organizing field and laboratory research on rocks and min- erals of economic importance at home and abroad. In this exacting task he had the assistance of W. F. P. McLintock, as Deputy Director, and of two Assistant Direc- tors well versed in applied geology—T. Eastwood in England and M. Macgregor in Scotland. Bailey himself, throughout his career, had maintained a bias for "pure" geology, although he had supervised coalfield work in Ayrshire, and had discovered a very high-grade glass-sand in the Highlands which proved of great value in the war.

An account of Survey war activities, including the production of a series of Wartime Pamphlets and the establishment of an Atomic Energy Division, is given in his book Geological Survey of Great Britain (1952). On retiring from the Survey in 1945 he was knighted. Bailey's wider studies of the tectonics of Scottish Dalradian schists were largely made unofficially and published in scientific journals between 1910 and 1937. During periods of leave over these many years he scoured the southern Highlands from to —a Herculean task rendered possible only by his compelling enthusiasm and remarkable physique. This large area had already been mapped by the Geo- logical Survey, but Bailey modified stratigraphic groupings and re-interpreted struc- ture in terms of great recumbent folds, and contemporaneous "slides" (fold-faults) that had locally cut out parts of the succession and had then been intensely refolded. His earlier syntheses met with opposition, and from time to time he modified his views or accepted, with good grace, corrections of others. For instance visiting geolo- gists, notably T. Vogt (Norway) and T. L. Tanton (Canada), proved to him, by their observations of current-bedding, that his reading of the Ballachulish succession in his northwestern area should be modified and reversed (1930, Geol. Mag.). This implied over-folding toward the northwest (instead of southeast) and the presence of "lags" affecting normal limbs, instead of "thrusts" affecting reversed limbs (1934, Quart. Jour. Geol. Soc.). In this connection he developed a theory of "tectonic eddies" (1938). In Bailey's south-eastern area, Blair -Schichallion-, his inference of southeasterly recumbent overfolding has not required modification (1925, 1928, 1937). The broad lines, and much of the detail, of his mature views have proved sound. (For a general summary see "British Regional Geology: The Grampian Highlands," Geol. Surv. and Mus., 2d, revised, Edition, 1948, p. 31-34). Bailey gave a detailed, but largely historical, account of Dalradian metamorphic problems with rather vague general conclusions, but in the southwest Highlands (1923) —as later in Ireland (1934) and in America (1940) —he maintained that albite- porphyroblast schists were formed from soda-rich sediments under thermal condi- tions relatively more hydrous than those favorable to the development of garnet. He also made comprehensive re-assessments of Moine and Lewisian tectonics and meta- morphism in the Moine Thrust areas of Skye and the northwest mainland (1939, 1951, 1955) and of tectonics in (1935); the papers of 1951 and 1955 contain much petrographic detail of permanent value. Bailey advocated the correlation of Moine and Torridonian and the Caledonian age of Moinian and Dalradian meta- morphism (1952, 1955). In 1948 he gave a Special Address to the International Geo- logical Congress on the structural history of Scotland, in which much of his own work on folds, slides, and volcanic structures is summarized (1950). Visits to Sweden, Norway, Switzerland, Canada, and the United States (between 1908 and 1936) and assiduous reading gave Bailey an unrivalled grasp of tectonic science and its literature. He could often see at a glance the tectonic significance of a complex fold pattern (see ]. H. Mackin, Jour. Geology, v. 58, 1950, p. 56). His address as President of Section C at the British Association meeting in Glasgow in

1928 provided a brilliant account of the Paleozoic mountain systems of Europe and North America; he pointed out that the crossing of Caledonian and Hercynian chains, begun in southern Wales and Ireland and completed in New England, is perhaps evidence of continental drift (1928, 1929). In his delightfully written book Tectonic Essays (1935) he gave a chronological summary of world tectonic research and details of Alpine structures and the history of their elucidation. With O. Holte- dahl he dealt with Scottish and Norwegian schists and their tectonics in an article on the Caledonides of Northwest Europe (1938). In later years, as a result of visits to Iran, Provence, Gibraltar, Turkey, and Liguria Bailey produced five tectonic re- assessments involving new or modified thrusting (1948, 1950, 1953, 1963). In Turkey and Liguria he had W. J. McCallien as collaborator. Bailey's main contributions to Scottish igneous geology appeared in Survey Mem- oirs already mentioned; that on Ben Nevis and Glen Coe contains an exhaustive petrographic account of the local Devonian igneous rocks—the lavas of Glen Coe, the Etive and Ben Nevis dyke-swarms, the granitic plutons and their contact-meta- morphic effects (1916, 1960). In addition he wrote a wider petrochemical study, in which he inferred that the parental (hornblendic) Devonian magma was relatively rich in water as compared with the (pyroxenic) parent magma of Tertiary times (1958). He also put forward ideas to account for albitization of plagioclase in Scottish basalts and dolerites (1909) and for the origin of aplitic veins and picritic layers in sills in central Scotland (1928, in relation to Tyrrell and Bowen); and he re-assessed the structural igneous tectonics of the Tertiary Arran granite (1926) and the Tertiary volcanic complex of Rhum (1945). Partly outside Scotland between 1950 and 1963 (in collaboration with W. J. Mc- Callien) Bailey dealt with associated occurrences of serpentine, pillow-lava, and radiolarian chert (his "Steinmann trinity") at Ballantrae, in Turkey, and in Liguria (Apennines). His researches supported a submarine volcanic origin of the serpentines and pillow-lavas (see also 1936). With McCallien at Slieve Gullion (1956) he in- ferred that dolerite had cracked before its crystallization had gone very far and so had been locally chilled against veins of colder granophyre magma intruded along the cracks (see also 1953, with L. R. Wager). Bailey made important contributions to general geology. After a visit to Canada in 1927, as a guest of the Princeton Summer School, he published, in collaboration with L. W. Collet and R. M. Field, a re-interpretation of the Quebec and Levis conglomerates; these he regarded as products of submarine landslips detached during successive subsidences along the hinge of the "Logan slope" (1928). It was also sug- gested that the Kimmeridgian Boulder Beds of Brora, East Sutherland, originated in a similar way, along a submarine fault-scarp. With J. Weir, as paleontologist, he later re-investigated the Brora area and confirmed his hypothesis in a detailed paper of great interest (1932). Bailey's Quebec visit led him to regard recurrent graded bedding in the Silurian of the Southern Uplands, in the East Sutherland Boulder Beds, and elsewhere, as due to tsunamis produced by long successions of earthquakes (1930, Geo!. Mag., 1932, 1936).

As a collaborator Bailey made important contributions to Scottish glacial geology; examples are as follows. In East Lothian, with P. F. Kendall, he developed the idea (at that time a novel one) of a regional ice-sheet shrinking back from high to low ground, with the formation of a succession of flanking spillways (1908, 1911). In the Highlands, with W. B. Wright, he plotted and discussed regional ice movement over a large coastal area that included Colonsay (1911), obtained evidence of the con- temporaneity of valley glaciers and late-glacial high sea levels in Mull, and dealt with the warping of raised beaches on the western Scottish seaboard (1924). With }. Mathieson he described glacial lake strand-lines at Loch Tulla, Argyllshire (1923). Other examples of Bailey's work in general geology are as follows: desert condi- tions inferred around the shores of the British Chalk Sea (1924), subterranean pene- tration of a Permian desert climate inferred in Arran (1926), breaks in the flora and fish-fauna of the Scottish Carboniferous attributed to the spread of deltas in ' 'Mill- stone Grit" times (1926), and accounts of the evolution of Scottish scenery (1934, 1960). Mention has already been made of Bailey's contributions, in his lectonic Essays, to the history of geological research. In Geological Survey of Great Britain he traced the history of the Survey from its beginnings in 1835. Geological research in Edinburgh from the 17th Century onward was dealt with in detail in a contribution to Edin- burgh's Place in Scientific Progress, a small book published in connection with the British Association meeting in Edinburgh in 1921. Much history of research was in- corporated in the introductions to his various papers. Late in life he published a biography of (1962), and at the time of his death a life of James Hutton was in manuscript. Bailey was a Fellow of the Royal Societies of Edinburgh (from 1920) and London (from 1930), and he had been President of the Glasgow and of the Edinburgh Geo- logical Societies and a Vice-President of the Royal Society of Edinburgh and of the Geological Society of London. Other honors included: the Neill Medal (Royal So- ciety of Edinburgh, 1929); a Royal Medal (Royal Society of London, 1943); the Bigsby, Murchison, and Wollaston Medals (Geological Society of London, 1923, 1935, 1948), and the Clough Medal (Edinburgh Geological Society, 1962). Bailey owed much to early association with B. N. Peach, C. T. Clough, H. B. Maufe, P. F. Kendall, and W. B. Wright and to discussions and excursions with foreign geologists, such as his friends L. W. Collet, O. Holtedahl, and R. M. Field. While at Cambridge, his interest in geology was fired by reading Suess' great world- synthesis; thenceforward he pursued geological research with passionate enthusiasm. To some he seemed to assume the role of the Happy Warrior leading the assault on Nature's rocky stronghold; and this antagonized certain of his contemporaries. To others, including the writer—who worked under him for many years—he was in- deed a dedicated and inspiring warrior, gay, often exuberant, sometimes even ex- travagant, occasionally too positive or intolerant, but supremely able—a very great geological leader and investigator with a special flair for observation and inference. Bailey married Alice Meason in 1914. The partnership, ended by her death in

1956, was an ideal one, and the hospitality of their happy home will never be for- gotten by those privileged to enjoy it. In 1962 Bailey married Miss Mary Young, who, with the son and daughter of the first marriage and their five children, survives him.
