Abstract
BY the death of Prof. E. W. Macbride on November 17, within little more than a month of his seventy-fourth birthday, British zoology has lost a vivid and colourful personality and a distinguished worker. To the younger generation he was a member of a remarkable group of zoologists whose encyclopædic knowledge of the morphology of the animal kingdom was a matter of wonder and admiration. His outstanding record as a student shows clearly his capacity for hard work, and his later writings indicate how well he mastered and remembered his subject.
