Obituary.THOMAS EDWARD AMYOT, F.R.C.S. ENG.

THE announcement of the death of Mr. Amyot, of Diss,Norfolk, has been received with deep regret by a large circleof patients and friends, hardly any medical man being morewidely known and esteemed throughout the county than hewas. His connexion with Norfolk was long established ;his mother was a daughter of Mr. Colman, a surgeon inNorwich, and he has practised his profession in Diss since 1846-a period of nearly fifty years. His father wasThomas Amyot, F.R.S., a distinguished man of letters and a prominent member of the Society of Antiquaries and theShakespeare, Percy, and Camden Societies. Mr. T. E. Amyotwas born in London in 1817, studied medicine at St. Bartho- (lomew’s Hospital, gained the diploma of Membership of theRoyal College of Surgeons of England and the Licence of theSociety of Apothecaries in 1839, and in 1866 he became aFellow of the Royal College of Surgeons. Mr. Amyot wasa man of great mental activity, which displayed itself in many and diversified ways. A careful and judiciouspractitioner, and one who zealously kept up with the greatadvances in medical knowledge which have been made

during his long career, he delighted in literature and musicand devoted much of his leisure to the microscope and to thestudy of astronomy, geology, and botany. Among his con-tributions to periodical medical literature was an account ofan occurrence of foot-and-mouth disease in the human subject.He was a member of the Norfolk and Norwich Medico-

Chirurgical Society and had filled the office of president bothof that society and of the East Anglian Branch of the BritishMedical Association. For some time Mr. Amyot had shownsymptoms of infirmity incidental to his advanced age, and theend came with the utmost peacefulness on Dec. 15th. Thefuneral took place in Diss cemetery on Dec. 19th in the

presence of a large assemblage of sorrowing friends. Mr.Amyot has been a widower for some years, but has left a sonand a daughter.
