Notes From Elsewhere

By the death of Dr. JAMES HOLMES MORRISON the British Medical Association has lost an old and loyal member. Dr. Morrison was a native of Dunning, a village in Perthshire, where he was born seventy-five years ago. He took the diplomas of L.F.P.S.Glas. in 1865 and L.R.C.P.Edin. in 1866, proceeded to the degree of M.D. in 1869, aud subsequently obtained the Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh in 1884. For many years he practised in Perth and at one time held many local appointments, and in addition was Surgeon-Captain of the 4th V.B. Royal Highlanders. Dr. Morrison joined the British Medical Association in 1875 and was one of the prime
movers in the formation of the Perthshire Branch in 1888, when the members of the old Perthshire Medical Association petitioned the Council to be recognized as a Branch of the British Medical Association. He was a regular attendant at the annual meetings of the Association. Some years ago he removed to practise in London, afterwards settling in Dover, where he actively worked down to the time of his death. He was a well known freemason, a captain of the National Reserves at Dover, and took a keen interest in all public affairs. [BMJ 5 Dec. 1917]
