Abstract
BY the death, on May 22, of Mr. William Edward Plummer, Director of the Liverpool Observatory, at the age of seventy-nine, there passes an astronomer of a bygone generation who did his full share of work for the science. His work lay in various fields, and it was his fortune to be one of the earliest of those who practise the newer astronomy of the photographic plate and its measurement.
