Abstract
THE death occurred on June 1, at the age of seventy-seven years, of Dr. J. G. Gar son of Ewell Court, Surrey. Dr. Garson was born in Orkney and was educated at the University of Edinburgh, taking the degree of M.B. in 1875 and of M.D. in 1878. He was admitted a licentiate of the Royal College of Surgeons, Edinburgh, in 1875. He also studied in Vienna, Berlin, and Leipzig. For many years Dr. Garson was a prominent figure among anthropologists, especially in connexion with the (Royal) Anthropological Institute, of which he was for long a member of council, and the Anthropological Section of the British Association. He assisted in the revision and re-editing of “Notes and Queries on Anthropology” when a new edition of that manual was issued by the British Association in 1892.
