Abstract
IT is with regret that we have to record the death at the early age of forty-three years of Dr. Malcolm Evan MacGregor, who was in charge of the Wellcome Entomological Field Laboratories at Esher, Surrey. Born in South Africa, he studied at Cambridge and later as a Carnegie fellow at Harvard, where he came under the influence of Dr. L. O. Howard, and decided to study the medical aspects of entomology. He first came into prominence during the War when he served with the R.A.M.C. in East Africa in connexion with mosquitoes and other insect carriers of disease. From East Africa he was invalided home, and on recovery was placed in charge of a War Office Research Laboratory at Sandwich to study mosquitoes in their relation to the spread of malaria in Great Britain from returned soldiers carrying the disease.
