' Menschliclien Parasiten,' the first volume of wliich has bepn 

 translated into English. Cyi-lopEedic in its contents, this work 

 is at the same time tlie embodiment of years of laborious experi- 

 mental observation, in which he himself determined the life- 

 history and hosts of by far the greater majority of cystic worms 

 then known, to say nothing of other parasites. And witness 

 the old Brunswicker at the age of 60, working out, contempora- 

 neously with A. P. Thomas, the life-hisiory of the Liver-Huke, 

 that foremost piece of Britisli Helminthology ! Nor must his 

 ' Zoologisihe Wandtafeln ' be forgotten, by way of a sustained 

 effort in the cause of scientific education. 



Duiing the 48 years of his active life tliere emanated from his 

 pen a continuously flowing series of some 200 monographs and 

 papers, all of which are important and have borne the test; 

 of time. A few of these are in English and were publislied in 

 our own scientific journals, his association with us dating from 

 1848, when, in conjunction with his teacher Kudolph Wagner, he 

 contributed an article to Todd's ' Encyclopedia of Anatomy.' 

 The contemporary of Huxley, Loven, Kolliker, and Gregen- 

 baur, a man who lived through the Darwinian epoch, the 

 teacher of Alexd. Brandt, of Biitschli, Hatschek, Korschelt, 

 Mark, Eabl, Salensky, Siinroth, and Whitman, zealous, per- 

 sistent, painstaking, and unostentatious, a continuous w^orker, 

 a profound philosopher, content could he but untold the pages 

 of Nature, he has passed away, leaving a name which will be 

 ever venerated by zoologists and all earnest workers in science, 

 a noble example for the rest of time. 



He was in 1877 elected a Foreign Member of both the Royal 

 and Linuean Societies, and in ls83 received corresponding 

 recognition from the Zoological Society.
