S4 Obituary — Professor Karl A. von Zittel. 



Professor von Zittel's ability and industry were rewarded by the 

 bestowal upon him of abundant honours; he received various orders 

 and medals, and was elected an honorary member of numerous 

 learned societies. He became a foreign member of the Geological 

 Society of London in 1889, and in 1894 was the recipient of the 

 Wollaston medal. In 1875 he was made an ordinary member of 

 the Eoyal Bavarian Academy of Sciences, and in 1899, on the 

 retirement of von Pettenkofer, was chosen to fill the presidency of 

 the Academy, with the position of Conservator-General of the State 

 scientific collections. An honorary member of the Koyal Academy 

 of Sciences in Berlin, he became a foreign associate of the United 

 States National Academy of Sciences in 1898, and a corresponding 

 member of the Paris Academy of Sciences in 1900. He was 

 Hector of the University of Municli in the year 1880, and in that 

 capacity delivered an able inaugural address which afterwards 

 appeared in print, entitled " Arbeit und Fortschritt im Weltall." 

 Some time afterwards he was awarded a knighthood, and it is many 

 years since he was made a Privy Councillor. 



Rest and change during last year seemed to have warded off the 

 dangerous cardiac trouble with which Professor von Zittel had for 

 a time been threatened, but before he had completely recovered 

 from the effects of an unfortunate accident which befell him last 

 October, he sufi"ered a return of the serious symptoms, and passed 

 away on January 5th, at the age of 64. A large and very repre- 

 sentative gathering assembled to pay a last honour to the memory 

 of the man who had so well merited the impressive eulogium which 

 was delivered at the graveside on behalf of his sorrowing colleagues 

 of the Academy of Sciences. F. L. Kitchin.
