Obituary notices of fellows deceased

Abstract

Carl Georg Friedrich Rudolf Leuckart was born in the ancient university town of Helmstedt, on the 7th October, 1822, and died at Leipzig in his 76th year on February 6, 1898. He was elected a Foreign Member of the Royal Society in 1877. Leuckart was the nephew of a celebrated but less distinguished zoologist, Frederick Sigismund Leuckart, who does not appear to have had any share in directing the tastes of his younger relative.
