Abstract
JAMES FAIRLIE GEMMILL was born at Mauchline in Ayrshire, and went from the village school and Kil-marnock Academy to the University of Glasgow. After a long and distinguished course in arts (honours classics, 1890), medicine (M.D. honours, 1900), and science (D.Sc. 1910), a period in Germany, a taste of medical work, and some travel, he became a research fellow in embryology in the University of Glasgow and a teacher of zoology to training college students. He was greatly influenced by the anatomical teaching and evolutionary thinking of Prof. John Cleland, for whom he had a very strong affection.
