We regret to record the death of A. B. Dobrowolski, formerly Professor of Meteorology at the University of Warsaw and Director of the Polish National Meteorological Institute, who died in Poland earlier this year at the age of 81.

Professor Dobrowolski took part in many expeditions, including the Belgica Antarctic Expedition, 1897–99. He was the author of several important scientific works, notably Historia Naturalna Lodu (The Natural History of Ice), which was written in 1916 and published in 1923. A part of this work was reprinted in English in 1948 under the title of Glaciers; Structure and Movement Theories, published by the Institute for Experimental Physics, Warsaw.
