CAUTLEY, SIR PROBY THOMAS (1802-1871)

This article appears in Volume V05, Page 559 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CAU-CHA
CAUTLEY, SIR PROBY THOMAS (1802-1871) ,
English
  engineer and palaeontologist, was born in Suffolk in 1802. After some years' service in the Bengal artillery, which he joined in 1819, he was engaged on the reconstruction of the Doab canal, of which, after it was opened, he had charge for twelve years (1831-1843). In 184o he reported on the proposed Ganges canal, for the irrigation of the country between the rivers Ganges, Hindan and Jumna, which was his most important
work
 . This project was sanctioned in 1841, but the
work
  was not begun till 1843, and even then
Cautley
  found himself hampered in its execution by the opposition of Lord
Ellenborough
 . From 1845 to 1848 he was absent in England owing to ill-
health
 , and on his return to India he was appointed director of canals in the North-Western Provinces. After the Ganges canal was opened in 1854 he went back to England, where he was made K.CB., and from 1858 to 1868 he occupied a seat on the
council
  of India. He died at Sydenham, near London, on the 25th of January 1871. In 186o he published a full account of the making of the Ganges canal, and he also contributed numerous memoirs, some written in collaboration with Dr Hugh Falconer, to the Proceedings of the Bengal Asiatic Society and the
Geological
  Society of London on the
geology
  and fossil remains of the Sivalik Hills.
