(i747-l8lf 0 an d Vilmos Zlamál (1803-1886). The first regular lectures on pathology were held by Márton Galambos, (1820-1872), a doctor of medicine, who was the first in the world to describe the spread of Eastern cattle pest to sheep, (in 1862), the occurrence of the disease among sheep living undernatural conditions. He had recommanded the use of the contagium of the disease after attenuation in sheep, and the vaccine thus developed was successfully tried out in Hungary in 1863. In addition to his valuable contributions to the literature on pathology, forensic medicine pharmacology, toxicology and botany, Kálmán Czakó, doctor of medicine (1843—1895) founded and headed the National Istitute for the Study of Seeds. Ferenc Hutyra, who became world-famous for his work in epidemiology, contributed valuable data to pathology and morbid anatomy in the period 1888-1889. István Rátz, doctor of medicine (1860-1917) is outstanding first of all because of his work in parasitology; many parasites still carry as epitheton ornans the name of Rátz. Károly Jármai, veterinary doctor (1887-1941) studied tumours and for more than a decade leucosis; his work belongs to the outstanding ones in pathology. He used the embryonated chicken egg in virus research earlier than, and independent of Woodruff and Goodpasture. The above data serve to prove that medical history must not neglect the data concerning the results achived in veterinary medicine. If completeness is our aim, the veterinary medical historical data should be also dealt with according to their merits. I •
