Abstract
BY a stroke of good fortune it has been possible to secure for the writing of this memoir the services of one who—a distinguished pupil of Prof. Graham Kerr—shared both the scientific interests and spiritual emotions of her subject. Those who knew how deep his religious sense, how strong his liturgical leaning, will appreciate how incomplete would be any memoir of Windle in which this side of his personality was not adequately represented. Another cause for congratulation is that not merely has the task been entrusted to sympathetic hands, to the hands of one who shared his technical knowledge of that branch of biology, cytology, which particularly interested him, but also to the hands of one who obviously possesses rare literary ability, the result being that we are given a complete, intimate and vivid portrait of a very remarkable man.
