proposed 1866.02.20 as local secretary for Assam
[report of the council for 1866]: Dr. J. Hillier Blount, whose untimely decease the Society has to deplore, was, in early life, much connected with medicine in Paris, where, as the friend and pupil of the eminent Falret, he was the first to introduce to a British public the teachings of that celebrated medical psychologist. In later life he resided at Bagshot, in Surrey, where he devoted himself to literature, and to the investigation of the phenomena of hybridity, heredity and atavism. In the spring of the past year he accepted a medical appointment at Assam, to which he proceeded in the capacity of local secretary to the Society ; but, unfortunately, died before he was able to render the Society any essential service. On leaving England he presented the Society with the whole of his library relating to human psychology ; and his genial disposition, combined with his high scientific attainments, render his loss very painful to all who knew him.
