Abstract
SON of the distinguished palæobotanist Charles Eugène Bertrand (1851–1917), Paul Bertrand, the report of whose death has recently reached Great Britain, followed up his father's work on fossil plants, and became a leader in palæobotanical research. He was professor of palæobotany in Lille until 1938, when he was appointed to the chair of comparative anatomy for the study of fossil plants at Paris. He died in Paris after a short illness aggravated by privation and anxiety on February 24, 1944.
