1897] OBITUARIES 65 



Baron Oscar Dickson, who died at his estate Almniis, near 

 Gothenburg, on June 5, aged 73, used his opportunities as one of the 

 wealthiest men in Sweden to succour all scientific and educati onal 

 enterprise, and especially geographical explorations, most notable 

 among which has been the voyage of the Vega through the north-east 

 passage under Baron Nordenskjold. Some years ago Baron Dickson 

 offered to contribute largely to an Antarctic expedition under the

 the scheme fell through.
