Abstract
RiCHARD ELMHIRST died very suddenly on November 13 at Millport after forty-two years of service to the Scottish Marine Biological Association and within a few months of the date when he would have retired. He was the youngest son of the Rev. Robert Elm-hirst, vicar of Brotherton, in Yorkshire, and was educated at St. George's School, Harrogate, and at Rossall School. There the bent of his mind was early displayed ; he was twice natural history prizeman and was assistant curator of the School museum. In 1902 he proceeded to the Yorkshire College, which had become the University of Leeds before he left in 1905. He took no degree, maintaining throughout life an objection to degrees or appendages of any kind, but with his natural gifts fortified by study under that great teacher and zoologist, L. C. Miall.
