Abstract
PROF. WALDEMAR LINDGREN, deeply respected by all mining geologists, died at Brookline, Massachusetts, on November 3 at the age of seventy-nine. He was born at Kalmar in Sweden, and, after a general education in his own country, qualified for the diploma of mining engineer at the well-known Bergakademie of Freiberg in Saxony. In 1884 he emigrated to the United States, and soon after was appointed an assistant on the United States Geological Survey, where he passed through successive grades to be chief geologist in 1911.
