Abstract
The death occurred at Prague, on June 9, of Dr. Jaroslav Perner, professor of palæontology at the Charles University. Born at Tynec-nad-Labem on March 28, 1869, Perner claimed to be a pupil of the French geologist, Joachim Barrande (1799–1883), in whose footsteps he followed by continuing the investigation of the fossil fauna of the Silurian and Devonian rocks of middle Bohemia. His studies were incorporated in various publications, including “Systeme silurien du centre de la Bohême” and a work of four volumes entitled “Etudes sur les graptolites de Bohême”. Most of his other publications were in Czech or German.
