Abstract
PROF. FRANK CAVERS, whose premature death occurred on May 26, was educated as a botanist at the University of Leeds, under the stimulating influence of the late Prof. Miall, whose heuristic methods attracted much attention in the early years of the century. After leaving the University, Cavers held teaching posts in botany at Hartley College, Southampton, and later at the Goldsmiths' College in London. He was not, however, in all respects well fitted for such work, though he was an excellent botanist and a most lucid expositor of his subject, as was shown by a number of elementary text-books models of their kindwritten for the University Correspondence College. He made a special study of the Bryophyta, publishing the results of his admirable researches in the Annals of Botany, the New Phyto-logist, and elsewhere, and obtaining the D.Sc. degree of the University of London.
