John Beddoe, M.D., F.R.C.P., LL.D., P.R.S., died July l9th, 

 1911, aged 84. Buried at Edinburgh. Born at Bewdley, Sept. 21st, 

 1826. Educated at Bridgnorth Grammar School, 1845, entered office of 

 a solicitor at Ledbury, but subsequently turned his attention to 

 medicine, became a student at University College, London, M.B, and 

 M.D. (1853) of Edinburgh. In 1854 he went out to the Crimea to 

 work in the base hospitals, and subsequently travelled much, until he 

 settled down at Clifton in 1857 to build up a practice. He married, 

 1858, Agnes Montgomerie, d. of Alex. Christieson, minister of Foulden, 

 Berwickshire, who survives him, with one daughter, married to 

 Capt. H. H. D. Tothill, R.N. He became one of the leading physicians 

 in Bristol, until in 1891 he retired to the Chantry, Bradford-on-Avon. 

 Here he served on the Urban District Council and Board of Guardians 

 and was for some years a member of the County Council. His work 

 in Bristol was greatly valued and in 1907 his portrait by Miss E. 

 Baldwin Warn was publicly presented to the City Art Gallery. But 

 it was as an anthropologist that he was really famous, and it was with 

 this subject that his most valuable work was concerned. He was 

 President of the Anthropological Institute, 1889 — 90, and as lately as 

 1905 delivered the Huxley lecture of the Institute in London. He 

 delivered the Rhind Lectures at Edinburgh in 1890. He was also a 

 corresponding member of a number of European Anthropological 

 Societies in Paris, Berlin, Sweden, Rome, etc. He was Hon. Professor 

 of Anthro])ology at University College, Bristol, and received the decora- 

 tion of Officier de 1' Instruction Publique of the 1st Class from the 

 French Government. He never lost an opportunity of noting tlie 

 sliai)e of the head and the colour of the eyes and hair of everybody 

 lu; met. In the collection of these particulars and in the reduction of 

 an inlinite number of such observations in connection with specified 

 localities, to a basis on which could be securely founded a theory on
