Abstract
A BERLIN telegram announces the sudden death of Dr. Emil Riebeck, at Feldkirch, where he was preparing for another five years' journey. Our first review in this week's NATURE refers to some of the last results of Dr. Riebeck's journeys. Either directly or indirectly he has done good work for science in various parts of the world. He was a liberal patron of explorers ; the recent researches of Dr. Schweinfurth, in Socotra, for example, were carried out at Dr. Riebeck's expense. His death is a serious loss to science.
