eh ‘DEATH OF DR. MOLLER. 
~Conchology has suffered a severe loss in the early death of Dr. 
Moller, well-known for his work on the Mollusca of Greenland, a 
“work which at once established him as oneé of the most promising 
malacologists of his time. Shortly after he had finished his studies, 
two years ago, he was appointed governor of East Greenland, and 
had just returned from that inhospitable climate to-his native coun- 
-try when he formed the intention of visiting England, for the purpose 
of making himself personally acquainted with our conchologists and 
their collections, and was to have arrived by the end of last month. 
But I have received the melancholy information of his decease, after 
a few days’ severe illness, at Rome. He had sent a nearly complete 
collection of the shells he had described to the British Museum 
shortly after the publication of his work.
