Abstract
THE death of Dr. Fritz Müller, which took place on May 21 at Blumenau, in South Brazil, has inflicted upon science a loss, the importance of which needs no pointing out. Although the greater part of his life was passed at a distance from the centres of scientific thought, and his natural modesty and self-effacement left him indifferent to his own fame, it has long been recognised that the qualities of observation and interpretation which drew from Darwin the title of “the prince of observers,” have earned him a position as one of the greatest and most original naturalists of the century.
