Abstract
PROF. W. J. HUSSEY died suddenly in London on Thursday, October 28. He reached England on October 23 with Mrs. Hussey and with Mr. and Mrs. Rossiter. They proposed to leave for the Cape on October 29, taking with them a large telescope of 27 inches aperture and 41 feet focus. This was to be installed near Bloemfontein, Prof. Hussey remaining until the building was completed and leaving Mr. Rossiter in charge to carry out an extensive programme of double star observations. Prof. Hussey had only lately recovered from an attack, of pleurisy, but seemed fairly well on October 27, when he gave an address to the British Astronomical Association.
