Abstract
CELEBRATION OF SEVENTIETH BIRTHDAY THERE are few living zoologists whose researches have taken so wide a range as have those of Prof. Max Weber of Amsterdam, whose seventieth birthday has been celebrated in Holland during the present week. As naturalist-traveller by land and sea in many parts of the world, he has brought together vast collections for study by his pupils and colleagues; as anatomist and histologist, he has studied the structure and elucidated the affinities of very diverse groups of animals from flat-worms to mammals; he has written the best text-book of mammalian anatomy and conducted one of the most important oceanographical expeditions of recent times; nor has he disdained to labour as a “mere systematist” at the description and cataloguing of species of Crustacea, fishes, and reptiles.
