410 OBITUARY NOTICE. 



papers the titles of a few may be sufficient here : — "The 

 opening of the Eustachian Tube, limited to the act of deglutition, 

 now first rightly explained," 1853. This appears to be the 

 original of a second paper on this subject alluded to above; 

 " Observations of the Solar phenomena of April 5, 1871," 1872; 

 " Nangitha Cross, with illustration," 1874; "Ancient Cross at 

 Trelanvean, St. Keverne," 1881 ; and his Presidential Addresses 

 delivered at the Annual Meetings of the Institution in 1873- 

 1875. 



Besides enjoying a large private practice, Dr. Jago

 be read with profit. As a Vice-President, Dr. Jago continued 

 as long as he was able, to take his personal share of work, and 

 his presence at the annual meetings was always looked upon as 

 certain. Lately, however, owing to his feeble health, he was 

 compelled to forego what to him was a great deprivation, but 

 though absent from the meetings his interest in the proceedings 

 never abated. It has been stated that our Institution was the 

 only one in the city in which he, after his retirement from 

 practice in 1885, retained an intimate interest. This was very 

 evident to anyone who had had the pleasure of conversing with 

 him during the later years of his life. In connection with this 

 it is pleasing to note that though he was physically unable to 

 attend the annual meetings, he made it a point, if possible, to
