Abstract
IN Dr. Frank McClean astronomy has not only lost one of her most devoted and painstaking followers, but a generous benefactor that can ill be spared, especially in this country. His death came as a surprise to most of his friends, for, although it was known that his increasing years were beginning to tell on his general activity, it was thought that there was still much work left in him. Unfortunately, however, this was not to be, for, at the latter end of his usual trip on the Continent, he was taken ill at Brussels, and very shortly afterwards passed away on November 8 at the age of sixty-seven, surrounded by members of his family.
