Abstract
DR. THOMAS ALGERNON CHAPMAN died at Reigate on December 17 last after a long period of failing health, in the eightieth year of his age. His father, Dr. Thomas Chapman, of Glasgow, was in his day an entomologist of high repute, and the lifelong devotion of the son to the. study of insects commenced at an early age. After graduating in medicine (with honours) and surgery at Glasgow and Edinburgh, Dr. Chapman was for a time resident physician and surgeon to the Glasgow Royal Infirmary, and in 1866 he received an appointment to the Joint Counties Asylum at Abergavenny. He afterwards became Medical Superintendent to the County and City Asylum of Hereford, and during his tenure of this office, from which he retired in 1895, he contributed several important papers to the Journal of Mental Science.
