Abstract
THE death in Glasgow on June 3, at sixty-nine years of age, of Dr. Robert J. Harvey-Gibson, emeritus professor of botany in the University of Liverpool, will be widely regretted. Prof. Harvey- Gibson was a son of the manse and was educated in the Universities of Aberdeen, Edinburgh, and Strasbourg. He first held appointments as demonstrator in zoology and later in physiology in the University of Edinburgh. His association with the University of Liverpool goes back to the year 1883, in which his first appointment was that of demonstrator in biology in the old School of Medicine, which was later amalgamated with University College as the foundation of the present University.
