Récsei Balázs: The regulation of prostitution in Somogy Comitat in the first part of the dualism The author explores the as yet undiscovered area of mentality and life-style history of dualism by drawing ip the development of the statute issued in 1882 which regulated the prostitution in Somogy Comitat. He analizes how the "women working the streets" scarcely tolerated by the contemporary civic ethos were forced into leagalized brothels, or rather, the endeavor of this. By dint of this study so rich in source material, we can keep track of the issue of how to handle prostitution, the opinions thereof and its regulation put down in statutes. A unique merit of the study is that no publication of the process of statute making of such kind has been dealt with. In the supplement we can read in full the final comitat statute regulating prostitution which was in force for decades. Csáti Csaba: Refugees fromTransylvania in the Somogy County (1916) In this study the author analizes the questions of the Hungarian refugee politics of 1916 which have hardly been dealt with. First of all he endeavors to show the demographical and social effects of the refugee issue of 1916 through the example of one county, this being Somogy. In the wake of Romania entering the first world war more than 100000 people, mostly Hungarians living in Seclars' Land and Germans (Saxons) living in the area of Brassó ran away into the heartland of Transylvania. But after that, the resettlement of the refugees to areas beyond the Királyhágó was organized. Thus 5,000 people arrived in Somogy County between September 30 and October 7 in 1916. In his study the author gives an account of the numerical distribution in the villages, the accommodation, and living conditions of the refugees and then the hardships of their return home. He examines from a socialhistorical point of view the eternal problem of the intricate relations between the refugees and those taking them in. Taking full advantage of the opportunity offered by the richness of the sources in Somogy County which is unique not only in the region of South-Transdanubia but in the whole country too, the author provides ample information about the ethnic and social composition of the refugees. In the end, he comes to the suprising conclusion that besides the Hungarian and Saxon refugees, a small number of Romanian refugees arrived in Somogy County too. He attributes this mostly to the enforcement of the Austrian-Hungarian Army.
