chlorine of lime, the hydrogenferrocyanid, and the heavy metal salts of fatty acids. 4 year before Klaproth he had discovered the tellurium and fought hard to defend his priority (Prof. Paul Kitaibels Erklärung die Priorität der Entdeckung des Tellurs betreffend, die er hier feierlich an Klaproth abtrat, Gehlers neues allgem. Journ. d. Chemie, Bd. I. S. 460, 1803). He gave the description of several plante among others that of Kitaibelia vitifolia named after him. József Lenhossék (1818-1888) was Professor of Anatomy. In recognition of his work "Über den feineren Bau der gesammten Medullae spinalis" (1854) he was awarded the Paris Monthyon Prize in 1857. He made important research work in the histology of central nervous system especially of the medulla oblongata and so he became one of the founder of the School of Neurohistology in Budapest. He investigated also the vascular system of the kidney. He is also well anthropologist, his monographies dealing with deformed skulls in currently referred to in international literature. Géza Mihalkovics (1844-1899) was one of the first to clear up the development of hypophysis (1877), his scientific investigations about the development of the accessory sinuses of the nose are also fundamental (1896). These investigations were completed later by his pupil, Adolf Onódi. Very important is also his research work on the sexual organs of vertebratae (1864), and his studies dealing with the organs of sense (1892). Lajos Thanhoffer (1843-1909) discovered a receptor in the intestines (1883), explained the role of villi of the small intestine (1872), the finer histological structure of the intervertebral ganglia (1875). Mihály Lenhossék (1863-1937) Professor of Anatomy in Budapest prove histologically the truth of the neuron-theory of Ramon y Cajal. The recent investigations with electronmicroscopy also support the neuron conception. Remarkable is the scientific work of M. Lenhossék in other fields too. He continued the traditional investigations concerning the histological structure of the organs of sense (1893, 1895), wrote about the finer histological characteristics of the pyramidal tract in the spinal cord, and explained the development of medullary sheat. Tibor Péterfi (1883-1935) provided with heatable camera the modern micromanipulator used at experimental operations and described the idea of tixotropia and latent cellstructure. Among the physiologists we mention first the work of Mihály Ignác Lenhossék (1773-1840) who was at first Professor of Physiology at the University in Pest (1808-1819) later in Vienna (1819-1825) and from 1825 Protomedicus of Hungary. He deserves credit for pointing out as Head Physician of the comitat Esztergom in a general order the importance of the Jenner vaccination as early as 1799. At this time vaccination had begun on a large scale in Hungary (in the comitats of Esztergom, Békés, Sopron) strongly supported by the Professors of the University in Pest (e.g. Ferenc Bene, Professor of Internal Medicina, 1800, 1802, etc.). It has to be mentioned that variolation also came soon into general use; for that purpose the book of Adam Raymann, head-physician of Sáros (Hist. med. variolarum Eperjesini in superiore Hungária epidemice anno 1717
