Zusammenfassung:BY the recent death of Edward J. Bles, zoological; science has lost a devoted worker whose qualities: of mind and character were of the highest. It is the-faith of many of his friends that, but for factors of: temperament, and health, he would have become a leader of thought in the subject of his choice. His publications, though of high merit, were relatively few; but his intimates know that they were far from representing all that he accomplished, and are aware of the temperamental restraints but for which he could and would have published much more. He was one of those investigators-deserving sympathy from colleagues with easier standards-who would fain allow, publication to wait for perfection, and yet realise even better than others that perfection never arrives. In spite of such inhibitions, or perhaps because of them, his published output is of high value and stamped with the quality of absolute reliability.
