Abstract
THE death of Prof. John Perry on August 4, at the age of seventy, leaves a blank in our scientific circle which cannot well be filled. A man of original mind and original manner, a warm-hearted Protestant Irishman, impulsive and enthusiastic in whatever cause he might engage, simple-minded to a degree and a thorough-going optimist, one of the most delightful of cornpanions, he was of the class of lovable men and popular accordingly; he will be much missed, particularly at meetings of the British Association, of which he had been the general treasurer of late years.
