Africa: [[Collection B|B]]; diatoms: [[Collection BM|BM]]; other plants: [[Collection QMC|QMC]] (transfered to [[Collection NMW|NMW]]), [[Collection TUB|TUB]]? *Note*: About 1912, Fritsch began to collect illus. of freshwater algae and at his death he had accumulated ca. 20,000. His widow gave this collection to the Freshwater Biological Association (now in Ambleside, Cumbria, United Kingdom). *The Fritsch Collection of Illustrations of Freshwater Algae* now contains over 500,000 illus. IDC has issued a microfiche edition with supplements (see also TL-2/1: 891, and Taxon 22: 308-309. 1973); basic collection (1964), and Suppl. 1 (1972), 2 (1978), 3 (1982), 4 (1987), 5 (1992) and 6 (1996). A genus index to the basic collection and supplements was compiled by Pertti Eloranta, Prof. of Limnology, Univ. of Helsinki. #### Bibliography and biography APN p. 211; Barnhart 2: 12; BM 6: 349; Bossert p. 134; Desmond p. 240, ed. 2: 265; DNB 21: 51-52. 2004; GR p. 398; Hirsch p. 90; IH 2: 210; Kew 2: 346-347; Langman p. 294; LS 9349; Moebius p. 68; NAF ser. 2(6): 63; Nordstedt suppl. p. 7; Portr. 1: 62 (index), 3: 453; TL-2/1: 891-892, indices 2/5, 2/7, Suppl. 4; Tucker 1: 264. #### Biofile - Anon., Intl. address book botanists: 181. 1931; Nature 162(4119): 562. 1948 \[retirement\]; Times \[London\] \[newspaper\]: 24 Mai 1954. - Dörfler, I., 1909.
