Abstract
THE death on May 21, after a short illness, of Mr. Mortyn de Carle Sowerby Salter, at the early age of forty-two, removes from the scientific world an extremely able worker just at the moment when the mastery he had attained in his special field of study had brought him in sight of important achievements. The son of Mr. M. J. Salter, he was educated at Bancroft's school, and passed directly, at the age of sixteen years, to an assistantship in the British Rainfall Organisation under its founder Mr. G. J. Symons. Here he developed an aptitude for statistics and a patience with detailed routine which enabled him later to grasp the scientific principles underlying the distribution of rain and develop an enthusiasm for research combined with sagacity in the practical application of his knowledge.
