ResumoTHE name of Georg Ossian Sars, who died on April 9 at eighty-nine years of age, has been classic to every marine zoologist for three generations-indeed since the elder, Michael Sars, then a clergyman at Flor6 in western Norway, published his “Beskrivelser og Jagttegelser”(1835), followed by other important memoirs which by and by led to his appointment to the chair of zoology in Oslo (Christiania) in 1854. Born in 1837, Georg Ossian Sars had the priceless example of a distinguished father and a sympathetic home, where his innate enthusiasm for marine zoology was welcomed and encouraged in no ordinary degree. Thus from early youth onward almost to his ninetieth year, the talented brain and hand unceasingly laboured at his cherished subject with a success almost unrivalled in modern times.
