Abstract
WE regret to announce the death at the age of forty-two years of the eminent Brazilian biologist, Dr. Lemos Monteiro, of the Butantan Institute of the medical faculty at São Paulo. He was best known for his work on yellow fever and Rickettsia diseases; but he was also the author of works on cattle plague, the Twort-d'Hérelle phenomenon, antitetanic immunisation, diphtheria and vaccine virus. His death was due to accidental inoculation in the laboratory with Rickettsia neotropica, the virus of São Paulo typhus.
