RUTLEY, FRANK (1842-1904) , English geologist and petrographer, was born at Dover on, the 14th of May 1842. : He was educated partly at
Bonn
 ; but his
interest
  in geology was kindled at the Royal School of Mines, where he studied from 1862-64; he then joined the army, and served as
lieutenant
  until 1867,
when he became an Assistant Geologist on the
Geological
  Survey. Working then in the Lake
district
 , he began to make a
special
  study of rocks and
rock
 -forming minerals, and soon qualified as acting petrographer on the
Geological
  Survey. For several years he worked in this capacity at the Museum in Jermyn
Street
 : he described the volcanic rocks of E. Somerset and the Bristol
district
  in 1876, and wrote
special
  memoirs: on The Eruptive Rocks of Brent Tor (1878), and on The Felsitic Lavas of England and Wales (1885). He was the author of an exceedingly useful little book on
Mineralogy
  (1894; 12th ed., moo); also of The Study of Rocks (1879; 2nd ed., 1881),
Rock
  forming Minerals (1888), and Granites and Greenstones (1894) ; and of a number of petrographical papers, dealing with perlitic and spherulitic structures, with the rocks of the Malvern Hills, &c. In 1882 he was appointed lecturer on
Mineralogy
  in the Royal College of Science, and held this post until ill-
health
  compelled him to retire in 1898. He died in London on the 16th of May 1904.
