Abstract
THE brief announcement of the death of DANIEL PAULINE OEHLERT made to the Paris Academy of Sciences on October 11 will arouse in many British geologists a host of delightful memories, for he guided an excursion of the Geologists' Association through the beautiful country of Mayenne, as well as an excursion of the International Geological Congress. Than Oehlert and his accomplished wife, who shared his labours, no better guides could be found, for they had surveyed the district for the Carte détaillée Géologique de France. Together also they published some sound palæontological papers, chiefly on Devonian fossils. Since the death of Mme. Oehlert some years ago, Oehlert had withdrawn from active geological work, and devoted himself to the museum of his native city, Laval. He was a fine man in body and in spirit.
