HAUER, FRANZ, RITTER VON (18221899) , Austrian geologist, born in Vienna on the 30th of January 1822, was son of Joseph von Hauer (17781863), who was equally distinguished as a high Austrian official and authority on finance and as a palaeontologist. He was educated in Vienna, afterwards studied geology at the mining
academy
  of Schemnitz (1839-1843), and for a time was engaged in official mining
work
  in Styria. In 1846 he became assistant to W. von Haidinger at the mineralogical museum in Vienna; three years later he joined the imperial geological institute, and in 1866 he was appointed director. In 1886 he became superintendent of the imperial natural history museum in Vienna. Among his
special
  geological works are those on the
Cephalopoda
  of the Triassic and Jurassic formations of Alpine regions (18551856). His most important general
work
  was that of the Geological Map of Austro-
Hungary
 , in twelve sheets (18671871; 4th ed., 1884, including Bosnia and Montenegro). This map was accompanied by a
series
  of explanatory pamphlets. In 1582 he was awarded the Wollaston medal by the Geological Society of London. In 1892 von Hauer became a life-member of the upper
house
  of the Austrian
parliament
 . He died on the _loth of
March
  1899.
