Eminent for his investigtions on a number of different problems concerning the anatomy and physiology of fishes. While engaged actively in a general medical practice the Candidate devoted his leisure and his holidays to researches ranging from the defensive spines of living and fossil fishes, the poison glands connected therewith and the nature and action of the venoms secreted thereby, to the physiology of the air-bladder and the Weberian ossicles, and more recently to the anatomy of the brains of fishes,. in relation to the special senses and feeding habits. In retirement from practice Dr Evans is continuing his researches, the results of which have hitherto been largely published by the Royal Society. |
