Abstract
IN the death on January 28 of Dr. Michael Grab-ham at the great age of ninety-five years, the island of Madeira has lost its most influential personality and the world an enthusiastic naturalist. Dr. Grabham, who was educated at King's College, London, and the University of London, qualified in 1861 at St. Thomas's Hospital and served there as house surgeon. He married Mary Blandy, one of the well-known family of merchant shippers, in 1865, and took up permanent residence as a practitioner on the island of Madeira. In that favoured island he produced a book dealing with its every aspect—natural and sociological—a treatise that is still of outstanding value despite the changing times.
