i894 OBITUARY. 391 



The death is also announced of Dr. Paul Albrecht, lately of 

 Hamburg, formerly of Brussels. He made numerous small con- 

 tributions to Comparative Anatomy, and a few — such as his 

 discovery of the pro-atlas in the vertebrate skeleton — are of 

 importance. 



Botanists, among others, will regret the death of General 

 RoBsoN Benson, who did some excellent work in connection with 

 the Botanic Gardens at Rangoon and Madras. 



Professor Pringsheim of Berlin was a botanist of eminence, 

 who has also recently passed away.
