Abstract
WE regret to record the death of Mr. Edward Horace Man, which took place on Sept. 29 at Preston Park, Brighton. Mr. Man, who was formerly in the Indian Civil Service, retiring in 1901, was born in 1846. As a young man he was appointed to the Andaman Commission, and not only entered into close and friendly relations with the aboriginal tribes, but also made them the subject of close study. In this he ran no inconsiderable personal risk, for the tribes were then and continued for many years to live in an entirely wild state. Not only did they raid the settlements but many of them resented, and often actively resisted, European visitation, especially if its object were punitive.
