'I'liE J \MARV luimero of the Deiitsc/ier 

 bienenfieumi contains an interesting article 

 on Professor R. Leuckart of Leipzig univer- 

 sity, with special reference to his contriljii- 

 tions to our knowledge of bees. The article, 

 which is accompanied by a full-page portrait 

 of Prof. Leuckart, was written liy Dr. Oskar 

 Krancher, lately a student in Leuckart's 

 laboratory. As Leuckart, who is now si.\ty 

 years old, has done much excellent work for 

 entomology in the midst of his extensive 

 zoological investigations, and has been 

 the teacher of manj' young zoologists who 

 have studied the anatomy of insects, I may 

 be pardoned for translating a part of what 

 Dr. Krancher truly says of the secret of his 

 ability as an educator. "One needs only to 

 be present at a single -lecture to discover the 

 reason for this extraordinarily large atten- 

 dance. Animated diction, eminent gift of 

 eloquence, . pleasant, flexible tenor voice, 

 knack at experimenting, finally' the gift of 

 teaching and explaning in the clearest man- 

 ner, these faculties combine to make Leukart 

 one of the best instructors of Leipzig univer- 

 sity." "In his laboratory he proves himself 

 the true 'friend' of the students, now and 

 then taking active hold in the tasks of the 

 several workers." (i: D.
