BERLOTY, BONAVENTURE. - French Jesuit and scientist, b. in Lyon on 25 March 1856, d. at Ksara on 10 Oct. 1934. He entered religious life in 1874. He had taught the physical and mathematical sciences in the Catholic faculties of Angers and Lyon when, at the age of fifty, he was entrusted with founding in Syria an observatory attached to the University of St. Joseph in Beirut. He established it at Ksara in 1907, and, after the devastation of the world war, he restored and enlarged it in 1919-20, directing it principally toward seismological and meteorological work. In fact, B. had been appointed in 1920 director of the official meteorological service of Syria and rendered valuable services in this field.
