1897] OBITUARIES 65 
Baron Oscar DIcKson, who died at his estate Almnis, 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
