Brandenburg 56: 170-175, 206. 1915 and Engler, A. et al., Bot. Jahrb. 53: 366-375. 1915 (corrections of Muschler's diagnoses). A law-suit against M. was dismissed because M. was said to have been in a situation of "krankhafter Störung der Geistestätigkeit." – Further insight into the apparently somewhat unstable character of Muschler is provided by himself in his "Ein deutscher Weg" (ed. Dreyer 1933), with e.g. "Mein Weg zu Adolf Hitler", p. 23-29. #### Composite works with E. Gilg: *Phanerogamen*... Leipzig (Quelle und Meyer) 1909, 172 p., publ.
