Henry Hicks (1837–1899) was a Welshphysician andgeologist during the 19th century.

Personal life

[edit]

Henry Hicks was born on 26 May 1837 in the city ofSt Davids,Wales. His parents were Anne (née Griffiths) andsurgeon Thomas Hicks. Hicks married Mary Richardson in February 1864, with whom he had three daughters.[1] He died on 18 November 1899 inHendon,London.[2]

Medical career

[edit]

Hicks studied medicine atGuy's Hospital in London; in 1862, he became a member of theRoyal College of Surgeons, and was licensed byWorshipful Society of Apothecaries.[1] Hicks returned to St Davids to practise medicine, and in 1871, he moved his practise to Hendon, London. Focusing on mental health, Hicks received hisDoctor of Medicine from theUniversity of St Andrews in 1878,[2] ultimately becoming the head of anasylum inHendon Grove, solely treating women formental disorders.[1]

Geology career

[edit]

In St Davids, Hicks metpalæontologistJohn William Salter, and became enamored with the burgeoning field of study. Hicks discovered a newLingulella in the red,Cambrian-era rocks near his hometown, and wrote of it to theGeological Society of London. This earned him recognition and a grant from theBritish Science Association, leading him to find up to thirty more Cambrian species in 1868. Post-1868, Hicks included the higherPaleozoic-erastrata in his searches. When he began hispsychiatric work in Hendon Grove, this allowed Hicks much more time to devote to the geologic deposits inMiddlesex.[1]

Hicks coined the termsPebidian and Dimetian to describe thePrecambrian rocks around St Davids; both descriptors were still used by scientists as of the 2010s.[3] Across theGeological Magazine, theProceedings of the Geologists' Association, theQuarterly Journal of the Geological Society, and theReports of the British Association, Hicks published 63 papers. He was also the first to discoverfossils (of theSilurian) in theMorte Slates Formation.[1]

Hicks was active in the British Science Association,[1] Fellow and president of theGeologists' Association from 1883–1885,[4] and made aFellow of the Royal Society on 4 June 1885. He was awarded theBigsby Medal from the Geological Society in 1883, becamesecretary from 1890–1893, 46th president from 1896–1898, and vice-president in 1899 at the time of his death.[1]
