Abstract
A FEW weeks ago Dr. Fridolin Krasser was found dead in his laboratory at the Deutsche Technische Hochschule at Prague, where for several years he had occupied the chair of botany. He was widely known as a palaeobotanist who had devoted himself to the investigation of Mesozoic floras, more especially to the study of the large collections of Upper Triassic plants from the well-known Lunz beds in the Hof Museum of Vienna. In 1887, Dr. Krasser published a note on heterophylly inspired by the work of Baron Ettingshausen, with whom he was closely associated. In 1891 he wrote on the Rhaetic floras of Persia; a few years later he turned his attention to the Cretaceous plants of Moravia, and in 1900 and 1905 made some interesting contributions to our knowledge of Palaeozoic and Mesozoic floras of the Far East.
