OBITUARY. 
Professor  Hugo  Von  Mohl,  the  celebrated  botanist,  died  suddenly  of  apo- 
plexy April  1st,  on  the  morning  of  which  day  he  was  found  dead  in  his  bed. 
His  death  is  a  severe  loss  to  the  University  of  Tubingen,  where  the  deceased 
has  labored  since  1835  as  professor  of  botany  and  director  of  the  botanical 
garden.  Von  Mohl  was  born  at  Stuttgart,  April  8th,  1805,  and  had  therefore 
nearly  completed  his  67th  year.  The  investigations  of  the  deceased  were 
mainly  in  the  field  of  vegetable  physiology.

to  the  Pharmacopoeia."  The  deceased  gentleman  was  himself  the  author  of 
some  highly  esteemed  works  on  various  branches  of  natural  history.
