Just five British students of chemistry studied with Robert Wilhelm Bunsen (1811 1899) at Marburg in the 1840s, and over a hundred with him at Heidelberg between 1852 and 1888. These pupils were largely responsible for transmitting knowledge of Bunsen's instrumental innovations such as gasometry and spectroscopy to Britain. They also voiced Bunsen's merits as an outstanding teacher. The paper traces (where possible) their careers as researchers, teachers, and industrialists. A list of Bunsen's students is included in the form of a Biographical Register.
