and the general public (1855), and finally he is, also in international relation, one of the establishers of forensic psychopathology (1858, 1859). The founder of the Hungarian school of neurology and in a stricter sense, neuropathology was Károly Laufenauer (1848-1901). His most important investigations are concerned with the histopathology of the spinal cord (1879), the finer structure of the fields of vision (1879), and the histological feature of lyssa (1889) as well as polioencephalitis chronica (1885). Károly Schaffer's (1864-1939) activity in the field of neurohistology and pathology meant a development by leaps. He finds out the finer histological changes in the case of tabes dorsalis and paralysis progressiva (1901). He studied the histological signs of rabies in Amnion's horn (1889). His investigations on the pathology of hereditary mental diseases (Über das morphologische Wesen und Histopathologic der hereditären systematischen Nervenkrankheiten, 1926) and especially on the pathology and histopathology of the Tay-Sachs amaurotic idiocy ( Über die Anatomie und Klinik der Tay-S

ach*sehen amaurotischen Idiotie, mit Rücksicht auf verwandte Formen, 1909) are of the greatest importance. Kálmán Pándy (1868-1941) described the liquor reaction named after him ('Tandy's reaction test"), a very sensitive and reliably method to demonstrate inflammation. Hugo Richter (1887-1945) was the first to detect characterized granulations in the spinal cord in cases of tabes dorsalis. Lajos Nékám's (1868-1957) dermatological atlas (Corpus Iconum Morborum Cutaneorum, 1938) has exerted a lasting influence. The ophthalmic school of Budapest is also characterized by comprehensive scientific activity. Vilmos Schulek (1843-1905) described the clinical appearance of erythropsia (1893, 1894). Emil Grósz (1865-1941) elaborated a new operative method for curing senile cataract highly appreciated (The method of senile cataract extraction, 1913; The extraction of senile cataract, 1930). Honorary doctor of the University of Lyon (1931). László Blaskovics* (1869-1938) method in the field of blepharoplasty soon became spread. József Imre (1884-1945) is one of the famous professors our university. His most valuable works are: Eye diseases and symptoms connected with the Gonads with Adrenals and with Pregnancy, 1938; Klinische und histologische Erfahrungen mit der Hornhautübertragung, 1942. Sándor Cseresnyés' book on otology in Hungarian language was published in 1832 while Itard's book, which is regarded as the first original otology, had been written not more than ten years before. This branch of instruction was introduced in our country by Gyula Boke (1832-1918). Géza Krepuska (1861-1949) improved the possibilities of surgical intervention in the case of otogenous brain abscess ; his otohistological investigations are also valuable. The results of Adolf Onódi's (1857—1919) research work are outstanding.
