Abstract
PROF. MAX WOLF died on October 3, at the age of sixty-eight years. He was the son of a physician at Heidelberg, and showed an aptitude for astronomy from his youth. While still at school he erected a small observatory, with an equatorial built by himself; in 1884 he discovered the interesting short-period comet that bears his name.
