History
According to his obituary in Geological Magazine (Decade V) Henry Meyners Bernard M.A., F.L.S., F.Z.S. "took mathematical honours at Cambridge as B.A. in 1876, and entered the Church, his last charge being a Chaplaincy at Moscow, which he left in 1888 in order to study Biology under Haeckel at Jena. In 1892 Mr. Bernard published an important monograph on 'The Apodidæ', his study of these forms leading to papers in the Geological Magazine in 1894 and 1895 on the systematic position of the Trilobites, and on 'the Sandblast' as a method of developing these organisms from the rocks in which they are embedded. In 1894 he began the study of the Recent and Fossil Corals at the British Museum (Natural History), continuing the quarto illustrated Catalogue of the Madreporaria (published by order of the Trustees) originally commenced by the late Mr. George Brook. In this work Mr. Bernard paid much attention to the fossil forms. He continued to work at the corals in the British Museum until 1907. He died at 109, West End Lane, London, N.W., on 4 January [1909]".
