Abstract
WE regret to record the death on September 5 of Robert Ramsay Wright, emeritus professor of biology in the University of Toronto. Prof. Wright was a child of the manse and was born at Alloa, Scotland, in the year 1853. His early education was obtained at the Edinburgh High School, whence he proceeded to the University of Edinburgh, receiving in due time the degrees of M.A. (1871) and B.Sc. (1873). He acted for a time as assistant to the professor of natural history at Edinburgh, but in 1874 he was called to the University of Toronto to succeed Prof. H. A. Nicholson in the chair of natural history, his title being later changed to professor of biology.
