Summary

The Mueller Medal was awarded to an Australian scientist distinguished in the fields of botany, zoology, anthropology or geology. It was presented in these fields in rotation. From 1904 to 1930 it was awarded by the Australasian Association for the Advancement of Science, and from 1931 by the Association's sucessor, the Australian and New Zealand Association for the Advancement of Science. The Medal commemorates Ferdinand von Mueller, President of the Association in 1890 and Victoria's Government Botanist from 1853 to 1896.
