Sad news from Japan

January 16, 2002
From: Cynthia Trowbridge

Dear all,
I regret to pass on some very sad news. My Japanese colleagues just wrote to say that Professor Baba passed away on Nov. 30th and Dr. Habe passed away in December. This indeed is very sad news for the opisthobranch community.

Trowbridge, C. , 2002 (Jan 16) Sad news from Japan. [Message in] Sea Slug Forum. Australian Museum, Sydney. Available from http://www.seaslugforum.net/find/5999

The passing of these two great Japanese malacologists indeed marks the end of an era. Both were well-known and respected throughout the world. Dr Habe had a broad interest in malacology, while Dr Baba was best known for his prolific studies on the opisthobranchs. Both began their publishing careers before most of us were born, Dr Baba in 1931 and Dr Habe in 1939, and both were publishing until very recently. Their deaths are indeed a sad loss to malacology.
