Abstract
A COMMITTEE has been formed, under the presidency of Prof. Huxley, to raise a memorial fund in honour of the late Prof. Guthrie, F.R.S. Prof. Guthrie endeared himself to a large circle of friends by his simple character and wide sympathies. Unfortunately, as his time was exclusively devoted to teaching and to scientific research, the provision for his family is far from adequate. A slender income is furnished for his widow by a policy of insurance settled upon herself, but this will not enable her to provide for the education and maintenance of her step-children. The ages of the children dependent upon her are twelve, fourteen, and seventeen years respectively, and their case is the more sad because, until a late period of his life, Dr. Guthrie had every reason to be satisfied that they were sufficiently provided for.
