Abstract
DR. LUDWIG DÖDERLEIN, formerly keeper of the Zoological Museum in Strassburg, died at Munich on March 23, 1936, aged eighty-one years. He graduated as Ph.D. at Bonn in 1877, with a thesis on the skeleton of a tapir. He visited Japan, and there collected many fishes, which were described by Dr. Franz Steindachner and himself in the memoirs of the Vienna Academy of Sciences between 1883 and 1887. In 1889 he co-operated with Prof. G. Steinmann in a text-book, “Elemente der Paläontologie”, and afterwards devoted himself chiefly to the study of fossil vertebrates. His latest papers on pterodactyls were published by the Bavarian Academy of Sciences in 1929.
