Abstract
G. H. F. Nuttall , Emeritus Professor of Biology in the University of Cambridge, died suddenly in London on 16 December 1937 at the age of 75. Nuttall was born in San Francisco, California, in 1862, the second son of Robert Kennedy Nuttall, M .D . (Aberdeen), and his wife, Magdalena, daughter of John Parrott, of San Francisco. Nuttall’s father went first to Australia but later migrated to San Francisco where he practised till 1865. In that year the family returned to Europe, the children being educated in England, France, Germany, and Switzerland.
