Abstract
WE regret to record the death, which took place at Edinburgh on April 11, of Major George Lamb, director of the Pasteur Institute of India, Karauli (Punjab), in his forty-second year. He was a distinguished graduate of the University of Glasgow, and for some time demonstrator of anatomy in that university, but resigned this post in order, to enter the Indian Medical Service. From the first he strenuously applied himself to research, and the extent and nature of his published work strikingly attest his great ability and originality, and his indefatigable industry. Within a few years after joining the service, he had made his mark by researches on Mediterranean fever in India, typhoid fever, and anti-typhoid vaccine, and other subjects connected with the scientific treatment of disease. He was subsequently continuously employed in important scientific inquiries initiated by the Government of India.
