James Macartney, Esq., M.D., F.R.S. &;c., was born in Armagh in 

 March 1770, and was educated in the country. He was not origi- 

 nally destined for any profession; but in 1794 he apprenticed him- 

 self to Dr. Hartigan, then Professor of Anatomy to the Royal Col- 

 lege of Surgeons in Ireland. In 1798 he removed to London, where 

 he became Demonstrator of Anatomy in St. Bartholomew's Hospital; 

 and two years afterwards commenced lecturing on Comparative 

 Anatomy and Physiology. This course, of which he published a 

 Prospectus in 1806, was continued until 1810. In the following year 

 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society ; and having returned 

 to Ireland was in 1813, on the death of his former teacher Dr. Har- 

 tigan, elected Professor of Anatomy and Surgery in Trinity College, 

 Dublin, which office he filled for four-and-twenty years. He died 

 of apoplexy on the 6th of March 1843. 



Both as a comparative anatomist and an improver of the practice 

 of surgery. Dr. Macartney is entitled to honourable mention. The 

 more important of his contributions to Comparative Anatomy were 

 published in Rees's ' Cyclopaedia,' in which the principal articles on 

 that subject were written by him. To the ' Philosophical Transac- 

 tions ' he contributed some valuable " Observations upon Luminous 

 Animals," published in the volume for 1810, and "An Account of 

 an Appendix to the small Intestines of Birds," in that for 1811. A 

 memoir " On the Anatomy of the Brain of the Chimpanzee " ap- 

 peared soon after his death in the ' Transactions of the Royal Irish 

 Academy,' of which he had long been an active Member, and to 

 whose Transactions he had previously contributed an essay " On the
