Abstract
IT is with deep regret that many of his friends and colleagues will have received the news of the death on August 9, after a long illness, of Mr. P. J. Barraud, at a nursing home at Bournemouth. I first came to know Mr. Barraud, as did a number of others in the Government of India Bacteriological Service, as entomologist attached to the Central Laboratory, Busra, during the latter part of the Mesopotamian campaign in the First World War ; but he had earlier in the War done valuable work in the R.A.M.C. in Salonica and Palestine, where he received his commission as captain. Later, in 1922, Barraud was appointed entomologist on special duty under the Indian Research Fund and attached to the Central Research Institute, Kasauli, to carry out research and make a comprehensive survey of the culicine mosquitoes of India, a subject which at the time was very much in need of revision.
