OBITUARY. 



Dr. Juan Gundlach, the well-known German naturalist, in Cuba 

 passed away at the age of 85 years. Dr. Gundlach was a German, but 

 had been 58 years in the island, which were unceasingly devoted to his 

 studies of nature in mountains and swamps, up to seven years ago, when 

 failing strength limited his activities. Some time ago he made a gift of 

 a valuable collection of vegetable, animal and mineral specimens to the 

 Institute. He had received an offer of $15,000 for this collection. The 

 remains lay in state in Science Hall, and were buried this afternoon, 

 March 16. 



J. VON Bergenstamm, of Vienna, the entomologist, is dead.
