ResumoTHE death, of this distinguished botanist, which occurred at Saint Raphaël, Var, on October 3, closes a career of remarkable brilliancy. Born at Voorschoten, near Leyden, on December 26, 1851, Melchior Treub entered the University of Leyden in 1869, and shortly after the completion of his undergraduate career was appointed assistant in the Botanical Institute there. This position he occupied from 1874 until 1880, when he was appointed, in his twenty-ninth year, to the directorship of the Botanic Garden at Buitenzorg, in Java, which had become vacant owing to the untimely death of the talented Scheffer.
