Abstract
ON April 9 chemistry suffered a loss in the death of Mr. Bertram Blount at the comparatively early age of fifty-four. Never robust, his health had been poor for the past few years; he appeared to be exhausted by his successful struggle in 1915 to bring cotton within the list of contraband goods; for, wonderful as it may seem, it was no light task to convince the Government of the necessity for the step, even with such weighty aid as that of Sir William Ramsay. But of nervous energy Blount had a remarkable store; his staying-power was the admiration of those who knew him as an early cyclist, and later as a pioneer automobilist.
