Abstract
THE science of oceanography has lost one of its most outstanding leaders by the death of Prof. Johannes Schmidt, director of the Carlsberg Physiological Laboratory, which occurred at Copenhagen on February 22 at the age of fifty-six years. His loss will leave a host of friends and colleagues all the world over with a sense of per sonal bereavement and regret, for being himself a great traveller with his home in Copenhagen, the headquarters of the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea, with which he was intimately associated, he was in close and frequent contact with all who were interested in the science of the sea. He was a man of quite exceptional charm, with a genius for friendship, always eager to help the work of others and to appreciate any help which others could give him in the execu tion of the bold schemes of research which he planned.
