Abstract
WE learn from the British Medical Journal of the death on March 26 of Dr. W. Ainslie Hollis at the great age of eighty-two years. Dr. Hollis was educated at Cambridge and St. Bartholomew's Hospital, receiving his M.D. in 1871. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians of London in 1876. Most of his life was spent at Brighton, where he set up in private practice; but his activities led him more to literary and scientific pursuits, during the course of which he made a fine collection of British macro-lepidoptera. He was president of the Brighton and Sussex Medico-Chirurgical Society and of the Brighton Natural History and Philosophical Society, and in 1913 he served as president on the occasion of the Brighton meeting of the British Medical Association. Dr. Hollis was the author of numerous contributions to medical journals on disseminated fibrosis of the kidney, the duration of life in infective endocarditis and other topics.
