Their continued use- fulness is a tribute to the soundness o] his vision.

Very few American scientists were able posium. Their papers are included in this volume, to attend the Cambridge meeting, however, so that however. an important segment of current research was not The publication of discussions in this volume is reported. This, together with the fact that research according to the procedure followed for the last two in this field is very active and significant new dis- symposia.

The sessions M. DEMEREC Iv] JOHN MASSON GULLAND F.R.S., M.A. (Oxon.), I~.D. (St. Andrews), D.Sc. (Edin.) JOHN MASSON GULLAND was born in 1898 in Edinburgh, Scotland, son of Professor G. L. Gulland of Edinburgh University. He went to school and University in Edinburgh, but his student days were inter- rupted by the first World War, during which he served as a 2nd Lieutenant in the Royal Engineers from 1917 to 1919. He took his B.Sc. degree in 1921 and later did research work in St. Andrews and Manchester. In 1924 he went to Oxford, where he remained until 1931 when he was appointed Reader in Biochemistry in the Univer- sity of London at the Lister Institute. Five years later he was ap- pointed Sir Jesse Boote Professor of Chemistry in University College, Nottingham. During the second World War he acted as Assistant Director, Chemical Research and Development, Ministry of Supply, from 1943 to 1944; and he had just taken over a new post as Director of Research to the Institute of Brewing when he was killed in a railway accident on 26th October, 1947. He is survived by a widow and two daughters. Gulland's interests ranged over a wide field of Chemistry and Biochemistry, and his early work dealt with alkaloids. Durin~ his stay at the Lister Institute he was engaged on the difficult problem of the pituitary hormones. But it is from his work on the nucleic acids that he will be chiefly remembered. For nearly 20 years he had been engaged in investigating the structure of the nucleic acids and of their constituent nucleofides, and much of our present-day knowl- edge of the chemical constitution of these substances has come from Gulland's laboratory. Gulland was one of the most courteous and charming of men. The invitation to attend the Cold Spring Harbor Symposium on nucleic acids gave him great pleasure, and during his visit to the United States he made many friends who have learned with sorrow of the tragedy which has withdrawn from the field of nucleic acid chemistry one of its foremost investigators.
