Abstract
SYSTEMATIC botany has lost one of its greatest living names in the death of Elias Magnus Fries, Emeritus Professor of Botany in the University of Upsala. He was born August 15, 1794, and died on February 8 inst. His very numerous works, especially on fungi and lichens, give him a position as regards those groups of plants only comparable to that of Linnæus. His services to science were recognised by the Royal Society in his election as a foreign member in 1875.
