Albert Gaudry

Abstract

BIOLOGICAL and geological science mourns the loss of Prof. Albert Gaudry, who, full of years and honours, passed away at Paris on November 29. He was one of the most distinguished pioneers in the modern methods of studying extinct animals, and during the past half-century his brilliant expositions and suggestive writings have been among the most potent influences for the direction of palæontological research to profitable ends. In the case of his pupils and those who had the privilege of his personal acquaintance, the charm of his courtly manner and quiet enthusiasm strengthened these influences, and made him a revered master.
