The President and Council of the Royal Microscopical 
Society take this opportunity of expressing the regret with 
which they heard of the death of Dr. Lawson, which took 
place at Cork on the 4th of October. Dr. Lawson edited 
this Journal from its commencement, and also held the 
appointment of Assistant-Physician and Lecturer on Physio- 
logy at St. Mary’s Hospital. He had been in failing health 
for several years, and left London for his autumn holiday 
with little hope of return. He died at the early age of 
37 years.
