Abstract
DR. H. L. A. TARR, of the Rothamsted Experimental Station, has been appointed to the Sir William Dunn Institute of Pathology, University of Oxford, where he will carry out research on the chemistry of the bacteria responsible for certain human diseases. During the past four years he has been in charge of the investigations on the brood diseases of bees at Rothamsted and accounts of his work have appeared regularly in the various English bee journals and in scientific periodicals. Dr. Tarr went to Rothamsted early in 1934 with a considerable and varied previous experience in bacteriological work. He had been connected with the Department of Dairy Bacteriology at the University of British Columbia and the Departments of Pathology and Industrial and Cellulose Chemistry of McGill University in Canada, and, immediately before taking up his position at Rothamsted, worked for three years under Sir Gowland Hopkins in the Sir William Dunn Institute of Biochemistry, Cambridge.
