Abstract
IT seems but a short time since we deplored the premature death of Prof. Minchin, and now proto-zoologists have lost another distinguished leader, Prof. Doflein of Breslau, who died at the age of fifty-one on August 26. It is by his excellent text-book, “Lehrbuch der Protozoenkunde,” that Doflein is most widely known. The fourth edition, which appeared in 1916, has been out of print for some years, and he had been working for the last three or more years on a fifth edition, although often interrupted by illness, aggravated by depression caused by the War. However, it is some satisfaction to learn that this new edition may be expected soon to appear, as it is being prepared for the press by Prof. Reichenow, of the Institute of Tropical Medicine in Hamburg.
