Sir John Flett, K.B.E., F.R.S

Abstract

BY the death of Sir John Smith Flett, British geology has sustained the loss of one of its most distinguished exponents, with an established reputation both at home and abroad. His career affords a remarkable example of the original research worker and able administrator, and his place is assured in the long line of distinguished geologists who have directed the work of the Geological Survey and Museum during the last 111 years.
