Abstract
THE phenomena of life and their cessation at death present varied interests attracting to their investigation minds of very diverse type. Thus when the foremost ranks of physiology show a new-made gap, and a distinguished service of some one particular kind is at an end for ever, the loss to the science is not readily repaired. It is then too clear that the gifts which have vanished have differed from those that are left more than in degrees of excellence. Thus deeply at the present time physiology suffers by the death of the late Prof. Francis Gotch. His name is significant of a world-wide reputation. His personality was obviously individual, and in its peculiarities excellent.
