Abstract
DR. LOUIS DOLLO, who died at Brussels on April 19, will always be remembered for his numerous and valuable contributions to our knowledge of extinct vertebrate animals. Early in 1882 he was appointed assistant-naturalist in the Royal Museum of Natural History, Brussels, where he afterwards became conservator, and was actively engaged in research until his retirement in November 1925. He arranged and labelled the unique collection of Belgian fossil vertebrates in the new museum which was opened in the Leopold Park in 1905, and he published preliminary descriptions especially of the fossil reptiles in a series of remarkable papers, besides preparing a general guide-book to the vertebrates, both living and fossil.
