Abstract
THE death of Sir Herbert Wright, which took place recently at Chalfont St. Giles, removes yet another of the prominent figures of the earlier days of the plantation rubber industry. Born in 1874, he was educated at the Royal College of Science, London, and went to Ceylon as scientific assistant to the director of the Royal Botanic Garden, Peradeniya. He later became acting director, and from 1900 until 1906 was controller, of the Agricultural Experiment Station in Ceylon.
