Activity As the result of family circumstances Reid was unable to get much of a formal education, but this didn't slow him down for long. After studying in his spare time and joining the Geological Survey in 1874 he was employed in mapping one district after another for many years; this experience gave him a broad knowledge of the country's geology and he soon became regarded as one of the foremost experts of his time on British geology and paleobotany. His most intensive studies were on late Tertiary units, and by association the study of fossil seeds and pollen, and paleolithic evidences of humankind. Reid's wife Eleanor was his co-author on many projects.

Appointed an officer of Her Majesty's Geological Survey 1874 - 1913. Elected a fellow of the Geological Society 1875. Receives the Murchison fund from the Society 1886. Fellow of the Linnean Society 1888. Receives the Bigsby medal of the Geological Society 1897. Made a fellow of the Royal Society 1899. Appointed district Geologist 1901. Makes visit to Cyprus to advise on the use of water resources 1908. Vice-President of the Geological Society 1913 - 1914.
