Prof. Dr. Antonín Frič (30 PROF. DR. ANTONÍN FRIČ (30. 7. 1832 – 15. 11. 1913) V letošním roce si připomínáme sté výročí úmrtí vynikajícího českého přírodovědce Antonína Friče. Jeho činnost zasáh- la do několika oborů přírodních věd , a to především ornitologie, ichtyologie, hydrobiologie, geologie a paleontologie. V některých z nich, zvláště paleontologii, si vydobyl mezinárodní věhlas. Fričova profesní dráha byla od samého počátku pevně spjata s nově vznikajícím Národním (tehdy Vlasteneckým) muzeem, jehož rozvoj výrazným způsobem ovlivnil, později jako ředitel zoologických a geologicko-paleontologických sbírek. Byl také řádným profesorem Univerzity Karlovy a jedním z nejaktivnějších členů Komitétu pro přírodovědecký výzkum Čech. Mnohé vědecké práce, publikované před více než sto lety, jsou dodnes jako výchozí podrobné monografie používány jak profesionálními, tak amatérskými badateli. Ve své profesní kariéře se Frič neomezoval jen na vědecká pojednání, ale sous- tavně se věnoval i popularizaci vědy a především díky ní zaujal širokou veřejnost. Nepřímo tak vychoval mnoho mladých přírodovědců a pro sbírky Národního muzea vlastními sběry, mezinárodní výměnou i nákupy získal velké množství mimořádně cenných exponátů. K Fričovým stěžejním vlastnostem patřila cílevědomost, pracovitost, praktický vztah k řešení problémů a vysoké nároky kladené jak na sebe, tak na své kolegy. Z toho občas pramenily neshody se svým okolím, ale je nutné mít na paměti, že právě tyto vlastnosti ho předurčily k úspěšné vědecké kariéře. Bez nich by česká i světová věda byla ochuzena o velice hodnotné výsledky jeho práce. 111 This year, we commemorate the 100th anniversary of the death of an exemplary Czech natural scientist, Antonín Frič. His activities reached into many fields of natural science, primarily ornithology, ichthyology, hydrobiology, geology and paleontology. In some of these fields, particularly paleontology, he acquired an international reputation. Frič's professional life was joined from the start with the newly emerging Patriotic (then National) Museum, whose development he strongly influenced, later even as a director of zoological and geological-palaeontological collections. He was also a ranking professor at Charles University, and one of the most active members of the Committee for Czech Natural Science. Many of his scientific works, published over one hundred years ago, are still used as scientific references today, by both amateur and professional researchers. In his professional life, Frič did not limit himself to only scientific work, but also to popularizing scientific subjects, which earned him much public renown. Indirectly, he also inspired many young sci- entists, and acquired a great deal of valuable material for the National Museum, via his own collecting activities, as well as international exchanges and purchases. Frič was also a difficult character, due to his intense goal orientation, industriousness, practical approach to problem- solving, and demanding nature, with regard to both himself and his colleagues. This sometimes led directly to personal clashes, but it is necessary to remember that it was exactly these characteristics that predisposed him to a successful sci- entific career. Without them, Czech and foreign natural science today would not have the benefits of his valuable con- tributions. 112 SBORNÍK NÁRODNÍHO MUZEA V PRAZE ACTA MUSEI NATIONALIS PRAGAE Řada B – Přírodní vědy • sv. 69 • 2013 • čís. 3–4 • s. 113–122 Series B – Historia Naturalis • vol. 69 • 2013 • no. 3–4 • pp. 113–122 FRIČ MUSEUM IN LÁZNĚ BĚLOHRAD KATEŘINA PAŘÍZKOVÁ Archiv Národního muzea, Národní muzeum, Václavské nám. 68, 119 78 Praha 1, the Czech Republic; e-mail: [email protected] Pařízková, K.

The town of Lázně Bělohrad, not far from Jičín, acquired its name in 1905. Until then, it was known as just Bělohrad. The spa (Lázně) was founded in 1888, when the long-known baths were officially acknowledged to have healing effects. In 1900, the newly opened moorland spa became a frequent destination for Dr. Antonín Frič. His summer stays there became a yearly ritual, consisting always of several weeks with his wife, and later also with their grandchildren, Karl and Toníček. This tradition continued until his death in 1913. It wasn't only the healing baths that benefitted the elderly man's health, but the surrounding countryside offered interesting geological material for study. Frič soon gained the respect and deference of the local inhabitants, which enabled him to introduce a suggestion in 1903 – to found a new museum building in the rapidly growing town, constructed in accordance with all the then-recognized principles of museum design. Thanks to Frič's propagation and enlightened direction, the museum became a prime example for many subsequent cities and towns that decided to emulate Bělohrad. FRIČOVO MUZEUM V LÁZNÍCH BĚLOHRAD Abstrakt. Městečko Lázně Bělohrad nedaleko Jičína dostalo své dnešní jméno až v roce 1905, do té doby bylo známo pouze jako Bělohrad. Základ zdejšího lázeňství se traduje rokem 1888, kdy byly oblíbené vanové lázně úředně uznány za léčivé. Za zdejšími slatinnými koupelemi začal do nově zřízených lázní od roku 1900 jezdit i profesor dr. Antonín Frič. Jeho letní pobyt se stal každoročním rituálem, setrval zde vždy několik týdnů s manželkou, později i s vnoučaty Karlem a Toničkou, a to pravidelně až do své smrti v roce 1913. Nebyly to jen léčivé koupele, které starého pána uzdravovaly, Bělohrad se svým okolím dokázal přírodovědci na odpočinku nabídnout velmi zajímavý studijní materiál geologického charakteru. Frič si záhy zjednal mezi zdejším obyvatelstvem respekt a úctu. Proto také mohl bez obav přijít v roce 1903 s návrhem, zbudovat v tomto, především díky lázeňství, rychle se rozvíjejícím městečku, samostatnou budovu městského muzea, navrženou a postavenou podle všech tehdy platných muzejních pravidel. Z nové muzejní budovy se velice rychle, také díky důsledné Fričově propagaci a osvětě, stal vzor pro mnohá další zemská města a městečka, která se rozhodla město Bělohrad následovat. n Lázně Bělohrad, Frič museum, museology, Antonín Frič Received September 4, 2013 Issued December, 2013 “it is bitter to live in an area, childhood.

He offers an overview of necessary tools and materials, work procedures and suggests methods on how to subsequently store such assembled collections. 3 Today’s Victoria and Albert Museum, founded in 1857, intended then for presenting results of scientific research in industry and art, aimed first of all at educational activities.

Abstract: The paper presents the results of an analysis of ichthyofaunal variability throughout the section of the Menilite-Krosno Series (MKS) in the Outer Carpathians of Poland. The studied tanathocoenoses were formed at the bottom of a more than 2,000 m deep northern basin of the Tethys, being largely represented by the continental rise and bottoms of its narrow furrows, and – to a lesser degree – the continental slope and slopes of a submarine high. Lateral variability of statististically representative assemblages of tanathocoenoses hosted in thin, isochro- nous horizons is interpreted as a result of both local changes of ichthyocoenoses and the influence of post-mortem relocation of fishes that mainly dwelled the shelf and upper continental slope. Vertical variability, in turn, is considered as a resulting from changeable conditions of the ecological environment, the input and outflow of taxa whose evolution proceeded in the Indo-Pacific area, and the species extinction.

  • The Fish Fauna of the Dynów Marl Member (Menilite Formation, Poland): Paleoenvironment and Paleobiogeography of the Early Oligocene Paratethys
    The fish fauna of the Dynów Marl Member (Menilite Formation, Poland): paleoenvironment and paleobiogeography of the early Oligocene Paratethys Małgorzata Bieńkowska-wasiluk The Dynów Marl Member of the Menilite Formation in Poland is one of the most significant lithostratigraphic units containing fauna of the early Oligocene Paratethys. The fish fauna from this member is presented, including three shark taxa and eight teleost taxa. The connection between the Upper Rhine Graben and the Central Paratethys in the calcareous nannoplankton zone NP23 (about 30–32 Ma ago) is consistent with the occurrence of the teleost Anenchelum glarisianum and the shark Keasius parvus. The presence of the teleosts Scopeloides glarisianus, Vinciguerria obscura and Oligophus moravicus confirms the connections between the Eastern and Central Paratethys. The distribution of the ichthyofauna supports the existence of a marine connection between the North Sea, the Upper Rhine Graben, the northwestern Tethys, and the Central and Eastern Paratethys during the early Oligocene. The fish assemblage shows a high percentage of fishes, whose extant relatives are living in the depth interval between 0 and 500 m. The presence of Gonostomatidae, Phosichthyidae and Myctophidae indicates normal salinity in the deep pelagic life zones. The fish fauna show distinctly Paratethyan affinities. • Key words: Teleostei, Elasmobranchii, Rupelian, Outer Carpathians. Bieńkowska­Wasiluk, M. 2021.
