Abstract
DR. ALEXANDER RUSSELL'S memoir of Prof. Andrew Gray, which appeared in NATURE of October 24, will be read with sympathetic interest by Prof. Gray's many friends. I must be one of the oldest of them surviving, for I was Gray's fellow-student in my uncle's natural philosophy class in Glasgow in the session 1874–75, in which he carried off the second prize and I the fifth. From my knowledge of him at that time and since, I am able to appreciate the accuracy of Dr. Russell's notice, with the exception of one small error of date. Prof. Gray succeeded my uncle (Lord Kelvin) on his resignation of the natural philosophy chair in 1899, not after his death in 1907.
