Abstract
BY the death of Lieut.-Colonel Sydney Price James on April 17, tropical medicine has been deprived of one of its outstanding personalities. Of Welsh descent, James entered the Indian Medical Service in 1896, fresh from St. Mary's Hospital, where he had studied under Sir Almroth Wright. Soon he was involved in military operations on the North-West Frontier and later in China in the Boxer Campaign of 1900-1. He next found himself in the Government Bacteriological Department and thenceforward was able to devote his whole attention to scientific pursuits. In 1902 his opportunity came in his appointment to the Royal Society's Malaria Commission, and it was then that he forged that close co-operation with his friend, Sir Rickard Christophers, which resulted in their combined researches on this disease, which were vividly illustrated with coloured plates of the local anophelines. He thus became recognized as one of the leading medical entomologists of India.
