Abstract
THE death of Prof. R. S. Troup on October 1, at the age of sixty-four years, removes one of the outstanding figures in the development of forestry in the Empire. He passed the competitive examination into the Royal Indian Engineering College at Coopers Hill in 1894, and ever since then his profession had been his predominant interest. Endowed with more than the usual amount of Scottish common sense and with a good deal of Aberdonian caution, his mentality was peculiarly adapted to the orderly collection and presentation of facts.
