Abstract
IT is with deep regret that we have to record the death of Mr. Robert Kaye Gray, who passed away on April 28, at Brighton, after a long illness, at the age of sixty-two. He was well known as the managing director of the India-Rubber, Gutta-Percha, and Telegraph Works Co. at Silvertown, but his interests extended far beyond the range of commerce, and he became associated with many institutions and societies for the improvement of natural knowledge, and for the welfare of the sick and needy. His attractive personality, his quiet way of doing good, his unbounded generosity, the breadth of his mind, and his exceptional store of worldly wisdom, made him the centre of a multiplicity of activities; and there is no doubt that in recent years the constant demand made upon his powers and judgment hastened the end of his remarkable career.
