Abstract
MANY geologists in this country will regret to learn that their old friend, SVEN LEONHARD TÖRNQUIST, the doyen of Swedish geologists, died at Lund on September 6 from hæmorrhage of the brain. Törnquist's work on graptolites is familiar to all who deal with Lower Palæozoic palæontology and stratigraphy, and his writings on the geology of the beautiful Siljan district in Dalecarlia and on the relations of the Leptaena limestone have been a guide to many visitors for more than half a century. Papers were received from him up to the present year, for he still retained vigour of mind and body.
