Abstract
DR. BURGESS BARNETT, superintendent of the Rangoon Zoological Gardens since 1938, died on April 9 at Dooars, Bengal, at the age of fifty-six. He is perhaps best known for his work on the use of snake venom in the treatment of hæmorrhage and epilepsy, mainly carried out while holding the appointment of curator of reptiles of the Zoological Society of London during 1932–37.
