Abstract
BY the death of Dr. R. P. Hobson at Bangor on April 12 at the early age of thirty-nine, agricultural science and bioche.mistry have lost a very able research worker. Dr. Hobson came to Bangor in 1934 to work on the sheep maggot problem in co-operation with the late Dr. Maldwyn Davies. His previous researches at Rothamsted and the London School of Tropical Medicine fitted him admirably for this work, funds for which were provided by the Agricultural Research Council. His publications dealing with this subject included ten studies (two in the Press) in the Annals of Applied Biology, and, in addition, contributions were made to the Biochemical Journal, NATURE and Agriculture.
