Abstract
THE death of Mr. Frederick James Lloyd on February 8 removes an interesting figure from the ranks of the older workers in agricultural science in this country. Mr. Lloyd was born at Sketty, near Swansea, in 1852, and was educated at Bristol Grammar School. After leaving school he proceeded, for family reasons, to study law, but, showing a natural aptitude and interest in science, he soon rejected a legal career and found an opening in the laboratory of the late Dr. Voelcker. The training received there during the next four years was supplemented by evening studies at King's College, London, and subsequent experience in chemistry during a sojourn in Germany. On his return to England he became successively chief assistant to Dr. Thomas Stevenson, of Guy's Hospital, and at the laboratory of the Royal Agricultural Society, ultimately setting up in practice on his own account as an agricultural chemist.
