Abstract
THE numerous friends and old students of James Ernest Marsh will have learned with regret of his death on April 13 at the age of seventy-seven years. He was one of the few remaining chemists whose most active period of work belongs to last century, having been University demonstrator in chemistry at Oxford from 1886. In my undergraduate days, 1896-98, Marsh in organic chemistry and V. H. Veley, who died at just the same age in 1933, in inorganic chemistry, were almost the only ones in Oxford keeping the flag flying as regards original work in the subject.
