Abstract
Miss LILIAN SUZETTE GIBBS, the news of whose death at Santa Cruz, Teneriffe, on January 30, came as a shock to her botanical friends at home, had done good work both as an investigator in the laboratory and as an explorer in many parts of the world. After a two years' course at the Swanley Horticultural College, she entered the Royal College of Science as a student in the Department of Botany under Prof. J. B. Farmer. From that time onwards her life, which might have been one of leisure, was devoted to the pursuit of science. She became a research student at the College, and the value of her work was attested by the award of the Huxley medal and the prize for research in natural science.
