Abstract
PROF. PAUL GROTH, of the University of Munich, the well-known crystallographer and author of “Die physikalische Krystallographie,” died recently at the age of eighty-five years. His discovery in 1870 of morphotropy, or change in crystalline form due to the replacement of hydrogen by other atoms or groups, was largely responsible for stimulating investigations into the structure of atoms.
