Abstract
BY the unexpected death of Robert Kidston on July 13, palaeobotany suffers an irreparable loss. Dr. Kidston was still at the height of his activity, and had probably never been busier in his life than when the end came. He was then in South Wales, engaged on his fossil investigations. Equally distinguished in systematic and structural palaeobotany, Kidston was the veteran leader in his science, worthy to rank with the great continental masters, such as Zeiller, Grand-Eury, and Nathorst, who had already passed away.
