Abstract
THE comparatively small number of mineralogical workers and teachers has been once more diminished, and to the recent deaths of Mallard, Daubrée, DesCloizeaux, Sohncke, Retgers, Kenngott, Haughton and Heddle, must now be added that of Albrecht Schrauf, Professor of Physical Mineralogy in the University of Vienna, who has passed away, after long illness, near the end of the sixtieth year of his age. A. Schrauf was born on December 14, 1837; he became assistant in the Mineral Department of the Imperial Museum of Vienna in 1861, and Keeper in 1867; after 1862 he added to his Museum duties the work of a “Docent” in the University; but eventually (1877) retired altogether from the Imperial Museum to take upon himself the duties of the University Professorship, involving the care of the University, Mineral. Collection: in this office he remained tills the end of his life.
