Abstract
IN the obituary notices in this issue reference is made to the work of the late Major G. W. Dunkin, who was director for the past five years of the Compton Field Station of the Agricultural Research Council. Dr. W. S. Gordon, senior bacteriologist, Animal Diseases Research Association, Moredun Institute, Gilmerton, Edinburgh, has been appointed to succeed Major Dunkin. A graduate of the Glasgow Veterinary College in 1923, Dr. Gordon was on the staff of the Wellcome Physiological Research Laboratories, Beckenham, for some years and took up the Scottish appointment in 1930. At Beckenham he was associated with Prof. Dalling, and other workers in those laboratories, in the production of biological products, and particularly in investigations of anaerobic infections in sheep. In Scotland he has led a team of workers in investigating and dealing with certain sheep diseases, notably louping-ill, tick-borne fever, braxy and lamb dysentery.
