Abstract
THE death on August 9 at the age of fifty-nine years of Mr. Harry F. Tagg, keeper of the Museum at the Royal Botanic Garden, Edinburgh, will be regretted by horticulturists as well as botanists. For a period of nearly forty years he had been associated with Edinburgh. He was appointed immediately after he had completed his training, and during the early years of his service his investigations covered a wide field. He was for a time, at the Botanic Garden, Edinburgh, the only assistant with scientific training, and he took a large share in the examination of material sent in from various sources for report. In the course of this essential work he devoted much of his attention to the diseases of plants and, as an expert upon the defects of timber, his advice was frequently sought.
