vice-president of the corresponding Section at the Annual Meeting of the British Medical Association in Eastbourne in 1931. "Mr. Roy, who retired from active practice some years ago, is survived by his widow, two sons, and one daughter. "Ma. C. M. GwiLum writes : Dr. Roy retired in 1938. I worked under him as resident and registrar from 1923. During the whole of that time he was handicapped by severe illness, which he faced with great fortitude. Perhaps it was the background of the Yorkshire vicarage—all his life was devotion to duty and extreme conscientious care. In spite of his physical disabilities, time, work, and fatigue did not matter. Naturally his patients were devoted to him, for he would make it his personal business to do for them things which others left to their juniors. He had a quick, shrewd, intelligent mind and a sense of humour which, in spite of everything, insisted on breaking through. His Cambridge academic record was first class and in obstetrics and gynaecology he was in many things far ahead of his time. His understanding of the anatomy of prolapse and his technique of breech delivery were modern. He devoted much time to teaching. Only the misfortune of ill-health prevented him making a great mark in our specialty."
