Abstract
Dr. H. D. S. HONIVMANN, formerly director of the Zoological Gardens at Breslau, and recently scientific adviser to the Dudley Zoo, who died on November 17, was born at Breslau on July 5, 1891. He was educated at the Johannes-Gymnasium at Breslau, whence he proceeded to study zoology, physics and philosophy at the Universities of Breslau and Heidelberg. In 1916 he graduated at Breslau under W. Kükenthal; his thesis for his doctorate was on the primordial cranium of the hunchback whale. On his demobilization in 1918 he decided to round off his biological training by the study of medicine, and in 1921 he graduated in this subject with a thesis on parasitic flagellates of the human lung.
