MEYER, VICTOR (1848-1897) , German chemist, was born at Berlin on the 8th of September 1848, and studied at
Heidelberg
  University under R. W. Bunsen, H. F. M. Kopp, G. R.
Kirchhoff
  and H. L. F. Helmholtz. At the age of twenty he entered J. F. W. A. Baeyer's laboratory at Berlin, attacking among other problems that of the composition of camphor. In 1871, on Baeyer's recommendation, he was engaged by II. von Fehling as his assistant at
Stuttgart
 
Polytechnic
 , but within a year he left to succeed J.
Wislicenus
  at Zurich. There he remained for thirteen years, and it was during this period that he devised hiswell-known method for determining vapour densities, and carried out his experiments on the dissociation of the halogens. In 1882, on the death of W. Weith (1844-1881), professor of
chemistry
  at Zurich University, he undertook to continue the lectures on benzene derivatives, and this led him to the discovery of thiophen. In 1885 he was chosen to succeed Hans
Hubner
  (1837-1884) in the professorship of
chemistry
  at Gottingen, where stereo-chemical questions especially engaged his attention; and in 1889, on the resignation of his old master, Bunsen, he was appointed to the chair of chemistry in
Heidelberg
 . He died on the 8th of August 1897. In recognition of his brilliant experimental
powers
 , and his numerous contributions to chemical science, he was awarded the Davy
medal
  by the Royal Society in 1891.
