Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BAR-BEC
BARROIS, CHARLES (1851 ) , French geologist, was born at
Lille
  on the 21st of
April
  1851, and educated at the college in that town, where he studied geology under Prof. Jules Gosselet and qualified as D. es Sc. To this master he dedicated his first comprehensive
work
 , Recherches sur le terrain cretace superieur de l'Angleterre et de ['Mande, published in the Memoires de la societe geologique du Nord in 1876. In this
essay
  the palaeontological zones in the
Chalk
  and Upper
Greensand
  of Britain were for the first time marked out in detail, and the results of Dr Barrois's
original
  researches have formed the basis of subsequent
work
 , and have in all leading features been confirmed. In 1876 Dr Barrois was appointed a collaborateur to the French
Geological
  Survey and in 1877 professor of geology in the university
' of
Lille
 . In other memoirs, among which may be mentioned those on the Cretaceous rocks of the Ardennes and of the Basin of Oviedo, Spain; on the (Devonian) Calcaire d'Erbray; on the Palaeozoic rocks of Brittany and of northern Spain; and on the granitic and metamorphic rocks of Brittany, Dr Barrois has proved himself an accomplished petrologist as well as palaeontologist and field-geologist. In 1881 he was awarded the Bigsby
medal
 , and in 1901 the Wollaston
medal
  by the
Geological
  Society of London. He was chosen member of the Institute (
Academy
  of Sciences) in 1904.
