Charles Ledoux fue unos de los fundadores de la “Sociedad Peñarroya”, una de las mayores empresas de minería y metalurgia del plomo, plata y cinc en Espa- ña, Alexandre Pourcel y Adolphe Greiner participaron en el diseño y puesta en marcha de las principales plantas siderúrgicas de Vizcaya, y Charles Barrois realizó un estudió fundamental de los terrenos del Paleozoico de Astu- rias. Estas medallas, realizadas en el estilo propio de la época, representan, además de una expresión artística, un importante testimonio de historia minera. PALABRAS CLAVE: Barrois, Greiner, Ledoux, medallas mineras, Pourcel. ABSTRACT Among the persons in whose honor different French and Belgian societies emitted medals in the first third of the XXth century, there are some also related to the Spanish mining. Charles Ledoux was one of the founders of the “Peñarroya Society“, one of the greater companies of lead, silver and zinc mining and metallurgy in Spain, Alexan- dre Pourcel and Adolphe Greiner participated in the design and running of the main iron and steel plants of Biscay, and Charles Barrois published a fundamental work about the Paleozoic of Asturias.

It lists former Fellows from the foundation of the Society in 1783 to October 2002. Most are deceased Fellows up to and including the list given in the RSE Directory 2003 (Session 2002-3) but some former Fellows who left the Society by resignation or were removed from the roll are still living. HISTORY OF THE PROJECT Information on the Fellowship has been kept by the Society in many ways – unpublished sources include Council and Committee Minutes, Card Indices, and correspondence; published sources such as Transactions, Proceedings, Year Books, Billets, Candidates Lists, etc. All have been examined by the compilers, who have found the Minutes, particularly Committee Minutes, to be of variable quality, and it is to be regretted that the Society’s holdings of published billets and candidates lists are incomplete. The late Professor Neil Campbell prepared from these sources a loose-leaf list of some 1500 Ordinary Fellows elected during the Society’s first hundred years. He listed name and forenames, title where applicable and national honours, profession or discipline, position held, some information on membership of the other societies, dates of birth, election to the Society and death or resignation from the Society and reference to a printed biography.

    Earth and Environmental Science Transactions of the Royal Society of Edinburgh,1–20, 2021 Article James Croll – aman‘greater far than his work’ Kevin J. EDWARDS1,2* and Mike ROBINSON3 1 Departments of Geography & Environment and Archaeology, School of Geosciences, University of Aberdeen, Elphinstone Road, Aberdeen AB24 3UF, UK. 2 McDonald Institute for Archaeological Research and Scott Polar Research Institute, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK. 3 Royal Scottish Geographical Society, Lord John Murray House, 15–19 North Port, Perth PH1 5LU, UK. *Corresponding author. Email: [email protected] ABSTRACT: Popular and scholarly information concerning the life of James Croll has been accumu- lating slowly since the death in 1890 of the self-taught climate change pioneer. The papers in the current volume offer thorough assessments of topics associated with Croll’s work, but this contribution seeks to provide a personal context for an understanding of James Croll the man, as well as James Croll the scho- lar of sciences and religion. Using archival as well as published sources, emphasis is placed upon selected components of his life and some of the less recognised features of his biography.These include his family history, his many homes, his health, participation in learned societies and attitudes to collegiality, finan- cial problems including the failed efforts to secure a larger pension, and friendship. Life delivered a mix- ture of ‘trials and sorrows’, but it seems clear from the affection and respect accorded him that many looked upon James Croll as a ‘man greater far than his work’. KEY WORDS: Croil–Croyle–Croll, family history, friendship, health, homes, income, learned societies, pension.

Those who have watched by the advancing tide will have seen that ever and anon a larger wave than usual comes rushing round some unrecovered spot and secures it for the sea j and so the tide comes in. Such waves occur in science, and if, as in geology, there be several fields, one after another thus absorbs the attention of the advancing army. So Palooontology has had its day, and Petrology is in its dawn. As once all hands were eager for the fossil, now all eyes are anxious for the slice.

  • Adamsite-(Y), a New Sodium–Yttrium Carbonate Mineral
    1457 The Canadian Mineralogist Vol. 38, pp. 1457-1466 (2000) ADAMSITE-(Y), A NEW SODIUM–YTTRIUM CARBONATE MINERAL SPECIES FROM MONT SAINT-HILAIRE, QUEBEC JOEL D. GRICE§ and ROBERT A. GAULT Research Division, Canadian Museum of Nature, P.O. Box 3443, Station D, Ottawa, Ontario K1P 6P4, Canada ANDREW C. ROBERTS Geological Survey of Canada, 601 Booth Street, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0E8, Canada MARK A. COOPER Department of Geological Sciences, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Manitoba R3T 2N2, Canada ABSTRACT Adamsite-(Y), ideally NaY(CO3)2•6H2O, is a newly identified mineral from the Poudrette quarry, Mont Saint-Hilaire, Quebec. It occurs as groups of colorless to white and pale pink, rarely pale purple, flat, acicular to fibrous crystals. These crystals are up to 2.5 cm in length and form spherical radiating aggregates. Associated minerals include aegirine, albite, analcime, ancylite-(Ce), calcite, catapleiite, dawsonite, donnayite-(Y), elpidite, epididymite, eudialyte, eudidymite, fluorite, franconite, gaidonnayite, galena, genthelvite, gmelinite, gonnardite, horváthite-(Y), kupletskite, leifite, microcline, molybdenite, narsarsukite, natrolite, nenadkevichite, petersenite-(Ce), polylithionite, pyrochlore, quartz, rhodochrosite, rutile, sabinaite, sérandite, siderite, sphalerite, thomasclarkite-(Y), zircon and an unidentified Na–REE carbonate (UK 91). The transparent to translucent mineral has a vitreous to pearly luster and a white streak. It is soft (Mohs hardness 3) and brittle with perfect {001} and good {100} and {010} cleav- ␣ ␤ ␥ ° ° ages. Adamsite-(Y) is biaxial positive, = V 1.480(4), = 1.498(2), = 1.571(4), 2Vmeas. = 53(3) , 2Vcalc. = 55 and is nonpleochroic. Optical orientation: X = [001], Y = b, Z a = 14° (in ␤ obtuse). It is triclinic, space group P1,¯ with unit-cell parameters refined from powder data: a 6.262(2), b 13.047(6), c 13.220(5) Å, ␣ 91.17(4), ␤ 103.70(4), ␥ 89.99(4)°, V 1049.1(5) Å3 and Z = 4.
