Abstract
Bounds are derived for the probability of extinction by the nth generation for a branching process in a varying environment. From these bounds, necessary and sufficient conditions are established for such a process to become extinct with probability one. The extinction time of a random environment branching process in which the environmental random variables are independent but not necessarily identically distributed is stochastically bounded by the extinction times of two varying environment processes.
