Abstract
THE death of Dr. Nelson Annandale, Director of the Zoological Survey of India, in Calcutta on April 10, at the comparatively early age of forty-eight, is a severe loss to science and to Indian zoology in particular. The eldest son of Prof. Thomas Annandale, the famous Edinburgh clinician, he was educated at Rugby, Balliol, and Edinburgh, taking his B.A. at Balliol in 1899; he was awarded the D.Sc. from Edinburgh in 1905. Before joining the Indian Museum as Deputy Superintendent in 1904, he was Research Fellow in Anthropology at the University of Edinburgh, and had already made a reputation as an investigator into the anthropology and natural history of the Malay Peninsula. Between 1900 and 1905 he published numerous papers on the biology-he always took biology to include anthropology-of the Malay Peninsula and the islands off Scotland, including “The Faroes and Iceland: A Study in Island Life,” and with H. C. Robinson and others, “Fasciculi Malayenses,” the classical work on Malayan natural history.
