James Shuter, 



M.A., M.B., LL.B., F. R. C. S. 



It was our melancholy duty last week to record very briefly the 

 sudden death of Mr. James Shuter, at the age of thirty-seven. Mr. Shuter 

 began his professional career by entering at Corpus Christi College, Cam-

 1875, and F.R. C. S. in 1876. At St. Bartholomew's Hospital he was house- 

 surgeon to Mr. Holden and house-physician to the late Dr. Black, and was 

 awarded the house-surgeon's prize. In the schools he held the offices of 

 demonstrator of physiology and assistant demonstrator of anatomy. In 

 1879 Mr. Shuter was appointed ^assistant -surgeon to the Royal Free Hos-

 also made the same year examiner for the Second M. B. at Cambridge. 

 He was surgeon to the Provident Clerks' Mutual Life Assurance Asso-

 "Holden's Osteology" and "Holden's Medical and Surgical Landmarks."
