Abstract
BY the sudden death, at the age of seventy-two, of Prof. St. George Mivart, the world in general and science in particular are distinctly the poorer. For he was essentially a many-sided man; and although an energetic and accurate investigator in several branches of biology, was in no sense a specialist whose efforts were restricted to the elucidation of abstruse facts or the elaboration of theories in which the general public could take little or no interest. On the contrary, ever since 1870, when he first began to contribute to the higher grade of popular reviews, he has kept himself constantly in evidence, and has thus become known to a very wide circle of readers, especially as the apostle of the evolution of organic nature under divine guidance.
