Abstract
IT is little more than a month since the formal opening of the new Botanical Department in the University of Sydney was described in NATURE, with an illustration given of the building itself (April 2, p. 509). Before those who read it were able to formulate, much less to convey to Prof. Lawson their congratulations on this tangible mark of his successful tenure of his chair, he was in his grave, in the South Head Cemetery that looks out seawards over the entrance to Sydney Harbour. His death, following closely on a serious operation from the effects of which he never rallied, took place on Mar. 26 at Sydney.
