Abstract
RAPHAEL MELDOLA was a man of remarkable versatility, eminent to an unusual degree in several sciences—chemistry, biology, entymology, astronomy—a n d of u n-bounded energy. How broad his sympathies and interests were, and how distinguished his services, should be sufficiently apparent from the fact that he was elected to the presidential chairs of the Essex Field Club, the Entomological Society, the Chemical Society, the Society of Dyers and Colorists, the Society of Chemical Industry, and the Institute of Chemistry. Apart from the distinctions connected with his scientific pursuits, Meldola was held in high honour among his own people as president of the Maccabaans, a society in London consisting mainly of Jewish professional men devoted to the promotion of the interests of the Jewish race.
