WE record with sincere regret the death of Prof. Alphonse Oppenheim, at Hastings, on the 17th inst.; he died by his own hand through grief at the death of his wife. Prof. Oppenheim is well known for his numerous researches in organic chemistry. Formerly one of the professors of chemistry at the University of Berlin, he only a few months ago, as we recorded at the time, had accepted the chair of chemistry at the University of Münster, in Westphalia. Prof. Oppenheim was a frequent contributor to this journal, and was much esteemed by a large circle of friends in England.
