Abstract
BY the death of Captain Geoffrey Watkins Smith, of the Rifle Brigade, who was killed by a shell in France on July 10 in a trench just taken from the enemy, zoological science loses one of the most promising and brilliant of its younger adherents, and his many friends have to regret a particularly lovable and gracious personality. Though only thirty-four years of age, Geoffrey Smith, by the abundance and originality of his researches, had won for himself a secure place in the scientific world, and his work was of such a nature that each step gave promise of further and more important discovery. It is not possible within the present limits of space to give more than a bare outline of his career and performance.
