Abstract
THE sudden death of Dr. Lockyer has deprived astronomical circles of a familiar and welcome figure. While walking down to his house from the Norman Lockyer Observatory on July 15 he was seen to fall on his face; and when some men close by went to help him up, he was found to be dead. About two years ago he was laid up for several months on account of phlebitis, and his death seems to have been a sequel to this attack.
