A few weeks later, on 17 November 2014, three of the guest editors of these proceedings (MH, RHBF and MK), paid Pál, his wife Éva and their older son Mihály a visit at their Budapest apartment, and presented this book to the Müller family. Although he did flick through the pages at one time during that day, Pál, who suffered from an advanced stage of Alzheimer’s disease, cannot be expected to have grasped the meaning of it all. This proceedings volume also contains an overview of Pál’s life, career and scientific output (Hyžný et al., 2014), including a list of papers written by Pál (and co-workers) and a survey of generic and specific names erected by him (them), plus a list of taxa named after Pál. All papers in Scripta Geologica 147 can be downloaded freely from http://www.repository.naturalis.nl. Here we present a summary of those data, up to the point (late August 2015) where Pál was hospitalised and died in Budapest, on 13 September 2015. Pál Mihály Müller, born in Budapest on 14 July 1935, studied geology at the Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE, Budapest), receiving a master’s (M.Sc.) degree 8 ) Corresponding author; e-mail: john.jagt@maastricht.nl © Koninklijke Brill NV, Leiden, 2015 DOI 10.1163/15685403-00003494
