Abstract
NEWS of the death on February 4 of Dr. W. W. Vaughan, as the result of an accident, will be received with deep regret by his many friends in scientific circles. A note in last week's issue of NATURE, p. 236, described the circumstances of the unfortunate fall, while visiting the Taj Mahal at Agra, which resulted in his death. When we went to press, it was reported by cable that his condition after the amputation of his leg was favourable, and it was hoped that he would make satisfactory progress toward the recovery of his normal good health. Those, however, who saw the serious nature of the accident at the time of its occurrence, when Dr. Vaughan had to lie in the open with a compound fracture for more than an hour before an ambulance could be found to move him to the Thomason Hospital, scarcely expected that he could recover, and their fears have been sadly confirmed by the fatal result.
