Abstract
ON February 17 the death occurred at Oxford of the former Waynflete professor of chemistry, in his ninety-second year. For many years the name of Prof. Odling has been almost unknown to students of chemistry, except to those who have become acquainted with something of the history of their subject during the last century. But it deserves to be held in respectful remembrance both by students of chemistry and by the large body of professional chemists now practising in this country, though probably only a contemporary could appreciate at their full value Odling's services to science on one hand, and on the other the position of influence in relation to applications of chemistry which he held fifty years ago.
