576 Obituary— Rev. P. B. Brodie, M.A., F.G.8. 



Vienna, the " Josepbinum," which post he occupied from 1854 to 

 1871. In the latter year he received a call, as Professor of Botany 

 and Palajophytology, to the University of Graz, where he remained 

 until his end. 



Most of his contributions to science are embodied in the publica- 

 tions of the Vienna Academy, notably the extensive Memoirs on the 

 Tertiary Floras of Bilin, Sagor, Parschlug, Schonegg, Radoboj, 

 Leoben, and others. Besides, he contributed papers to the Pro- 

 ceedings of the Royal Society of London on the Floras of Sheppey 

 and of Alum Bay ; and to the Palseontographical Society of London, 

 the first volume of "A Monograph of the British Eocene Flora" 

 (1879), in collaboration with Mr. J. Starkie Gardner. Other papers, 

 chiefly on the Fossil Flora of Australia and New Zealand, are to be 

 found in the Geological Magazine, in the Quarterly Journal of the 

 Geological Society, in the Memoirs of the Geological Survey of 

 New South Wales, and in the Transactions and Proceedings of the 

 New Zealand Institute. 



Several collections brought together by Baron Ettingshausen are 

 exhibited in the Geological Department of the British Museum ; and 

 at the end of the Seventies and later on, he made several lengthened 

 stays in London, occupied with the rearrangement and critical 

 examination of parts of the PhytopalEeontological Collections in our 

 National Museum. 



Of him was said in 1884 — " Coupled with his great powers of 

 accurate observation and strictly scientific method of investigation, 

 Ettingshausen displays an unusually broad grasp of the deeper problems 

 which palaeobotany presents, and has undoubtedly been for many 

 years far in advance of all his contemporaries in this field in 

 correctly apprehending and announcing the true laws of phyto- 

 chorology and plant development." ^

The Eev. Petee Bellinger Brodie, M.A., F.G.S., whose life we 

 recorded among our " Eminent Living Geologists," in the November 

 number of this Magazine (pp. 481-485), passed peacefully away on 

 the 1st November, at his residence, Rowington Vicarage, near 

 "Warwick, in his 82nd year. The notice of his life and his portrait, 

 which appeared in our last monthly issue, tell all we have to record 

 of this most excellent man and geologist. He was a Fellow of 

 the Geological Society for sixt^'^-three years. His memory will 

 be warml}?^ cherished by a wide circle of friends and geologists, 

 many of whom he led on and encouraged by his enthusiasm to 

 take up the hammer and join the ranks as field-naturalists and 

 fossil-collectors in Warwickshire and elsewhere.
