Concerning the chances for study-tours or missions abroad, we got more than had been expected, in this respect, for us, this year was an exceptional one. At the same time, we had been hindered in our activities by the departure of Flórián Huszár, one of the keepers of the Chinese collection on September 14 th , also by a temporary transfer to another job of another member of the staff, as well as the longer period of sick-leaves of two colleagues.
