(Read 14th June ISSS.) 



Heinrieli Anton de Bary was born on January 26, 1831, 

 at Fraukfort-on-the-Maine, where his father was a physician. 

 As a boy at the Gymnasium of his native town, liis taste for 

 botanical pursuits was evidenced by the herbarium which he 

 formed. His university life was spent at Heidelljerg, ]\Iar- 

 burg, and Berlin, and at the last-named uiuversity he took 

 the degree of M.D. in 1853. (3f liis botanical teachers, 

 Alexander Braun and George Fresenius were those who 

 exercised most influence ujion him during his student career. 

 After gTaduation he practised medicine for a short time at 

 Frankfort-(m-the-Maine, but soon he accepted a docentship 

 in Botany at the University of Tiibingen, where Hugo 

 von Mohl was then j^rofessor. This early association with 

 the founder of modern plant-anatomy had a profound 

 effect upon l)e Bary, who in late years always spoke with 

 affection of this early experience. De Bary did not long 

 remain at Tiibingen. In 1855 he became Professor Extra- 

 ordiuaiy, and in 1859 ordinary Professor of Ijotany at FVei- 

 burg a. lir. In 18G7 lie removed to Halle a. S., where he 

 remained until 1872, when he moved to Strassburg. As 

 Professor in tliis University he si)eut the remaining years of 

 his life, which closed, all too soon, cm the 19th January 1888. 

 Only in 1887 did he pay a first visit to F]ngland, when at 

 the meeting of the British Associalion in Manchester. There 

 he charmed every one by his genial and kindly disposition. 

 He was a F'oreign Honorary Fellow of this Society.
