Abstract
WE record with deep regret the death of Captain R. S. Rattray, distinguished as an anthropologist and authority on the native peoples of West Africa, who was killed in an accident while gliding at Farmoor, near Oxford, on May 14, at the age of fifty-six years. Captain Rattray was acting as pilot of the Oxford University and City Gliding Club, which he himself had founded only a week before.
