Notes

Notes From Elsewhere

THE death of Prof. David Waterston on September 4 at the age of seventy-one removed one of the distinguished anatomists of the Edinburgh School and a familiar figure for the past twenty-eight years in the life of the University of St. Andrews. After graduating in arts in the University of Edinburgh he took the M. B., C. M. in 1895, the F. R. C. S. (Ed.) in 1898 and the degree of M. D. with a gold medal for his thesis in 1900. [Nature]

Anatomist David Waterston of King's College London decided that the two specimens could not belong together and that 'Piltdown Man' was just an ape jaw attached to a human skull.
