190 BOTANICAL INFORMATION. 
Death of PROFESSOR KUNZE. 
It is with regret we have to announce the recent death of Professor 
Gustav Kunze, of Leipzig, of apoplexy; this event took place on 
the 30th of April. “Thus,” a friend writes to us, “ besides this dis- 
tinguished writer on Ferns, has botany to deplore recently the loss, in 
rapid succession, of Stephen Endlicher, of Vienna ; Koch, in Erlangen ; 
Kunth and Link, in Berlin; Hornschuch, in Greifswald; Wahlenberg, 
in Upsala ; Dr. Anton Sprengel, in Jena (son of Curt. Sprengel) ; and 
Professor Fried. Gottl. Dietrich, in Eisenach.”
