Abstract
ALTHOUGH even now natural science finds no place as a compulsory subject in the competitive examinations for the higher ranks of the public service, nevertheless the Indian Civil Service has often included in its ranks a few staunch supporters of the man of science. In this select band the late Sir Robert Warrand Carlyle, a kinsman of the ‘sage of Chelsea’, whose death in his seventy-fourth year occurred at Florence on May 23 last, takes an honoured place. Four years ago he was seriously injured by a motor-lorry in Essex, an accident which was followed by repeated attacks of pernicious anæmia which even his robust constitution could not long withstand.
