Abstract
CARL DIENER, who died in Vienna on Jan. 6, was born in that city on Dec. 11, 1862, there received the whole of his formal education, and there ran his professional career. As a student there was no need for him to go elsewhere, since he had as teachers some of the most eminent men of the age: in geography, F. Simonyi; in geology, E. Suess; and in palaeontology, M. Neumayr. But when he had finished his student course in 1883, he at once turned for a wider experience to mountaineering in the Alps, in Dauphine, and in the Pyrenees. He was among the first to introduce Alpine climbing into Austria itself, and was for seven years president of the Austrian Alpine Club; his membership of the English Alpine Club was, to his deep regret, broken by the War.
