Arthur Edwin Boycott, 1877 - 1938

Abstract

Arthur Edwin Boycott, whose death occurred on 12 May last, was not only an eminent pathologist; he was also a distinguished naturalist. He led a sort of scientific double life and was listened to with the same respectful attention by an assembly of malacologists as by one of pathologists. His wide knowledge of biology is notable in his writings and gave a special character to his teaching of pathology.
