Abstract
BY the death, in a motor accident while on duty, on February 29, of Flight-Lieut. J. A. Moy-Thomas at the age of thirty-five, we have lost one of the most distinguished of the younger generation of zoologists. The study of fossil fishes attracted him most, and he made many valuable contributions to our knowledge of their structure and classification. Particularly did he devote himself to unravelling the difficult problem of the true affinities of certain well-known forms of very obscure relationship.
