[BMJ]: Dr Matthew Cameron Blair, who died on January 16th, received his medical education at Glasgow and Edinburgh; he graduated MB CM Glas in 1888, and proceeded MD in 1895. One of the pioneers in laying the foundation of Northern Nigeria, he sreved first in that country as a junior assistant medical officer from 1901 to 1907, accompanying the Yola Expeditionary Force, and receiving the African General Service medal with the Northern Nigerian clasp. He subsequently took part in other expeditions, was senior medical officer in the Southern Provinces in 1907 to 1908, and was then transferred in the same capacity to the Northern Provinces, where he took part in the Gwari Expedition of 1909. From April 1910, to the end of 1920 he was senior sanitary officer of Northern Nigeria, and from January 1921, to January 1924, deputy director of sanitary services, retiring then at his own request in view of his age and length of service. He remained in Nigeria, however, and was appointed honorary consultant to the Nigerian Medical Service. During the last war he was intermittently employed, at first with the Nigerian Forces, and in 1917 was principal medical officer of the force sent to aid the French; he received the 1914-15 Star, and the British War and Victory medals. In recent years failing health compelled him to make his home in the Channel Islands and North Africa. Dr Cameron Blair leaves behind him a great record of medical administrative achievement in Nigeria, where his devotion won him widespread popularity and gratitude. He was a member of the British Medical Association during the whole of his professional life. His brother Dr David Blair, is medical superintendent of the Lancashire County Mental Hospital at Prestwich
