66S. Seward, A. C. Prof. A. G. Nathorst. Nature 107: 112-113. 1921.— Alfred Gabriel 

 Nathorst, who died at Stockholm, Jan. 20, 1921, at the age of 70, was director of the Paleo- 

 botanical Museum of the Swedish Academy for the greater part of his life. He discovered 

 many new generic types of special interest from the point of view of evolution (Pseudobornia, 

 Lycostrobus, Cephalotheca, Wielayidiella, Cycadocephalus, (^amptopteris); carried out ex- 

 jilorations in Spitzbergen and other arctic countries, and published numerous papers on the 

 Rhaetic floras of Scania. "It is to Nathorst more than any other man that we owe our knowl- 

 edge of Arctic floras extending from the Devonian to the late Tertiary period." A lovable 

 personality and delightful companion. — 0. A. Stevens.
