Abstract
GEORGE PHILIP FARRAN, who died at his home at Templeogue, Co. Dublin, on January 5 at the age of Seventy-two, was connected for nearly fifty years with the Fisheries Branch of the Department of Agriculture there. After a distinguished career at Trinity college, Dublin, he joined the small group of scientific men working, under the late Ernest W. L. Holt, on fishery and marine biological problems in Ireland ; and afterwards, in 1900, he entered the service of the Department of Agriculture and Technical Instruction as a naturalist. In 1938 he was promoted to chief inspector of fisheries, a post from which he retired in 1946.
