Abstract
WE regret to have to record the death, on August 30, of Mr. W. E. Cutler, the field palaeontologist who was working in Tanganyika Territory for the British Museum on the Dinosaur-bearing beds near Lindi. Those who lead sheltered lives in Europe are sometimes apt to overlook the arduous character of the work on expeditions in tropical or arctic lands, where either endemic disease or extremes of temperature endanger human life, and we may venture to refer to an article in these columns on April 18, p. 573, of this year, in which it was pointed out that the region in which these wonderful relics of an ancient fauna exist is pest-ridden to an unusual degree.
