of Dejerine, Marie, Babinski, and Souques. That of the 

 Clinic for Diseases of the Nervous System is extensive 

 and well organized, and offers instruction in laboratory 

 methods and normal and abnormal nervous tissues. In 

 all of them a volunteer competent to work on pathological 

 material or to carry on research work will be welcome, 

 and will have the guidance, the support, and the inspira- 

 tion of trained experts. Gustave ROUSSY, who is chief 

 of the University laboratory of pathology, is a trained 

 neurologist and especially interested in pathology of the 

 nervous system. 



Psychiatry. The focus of psychiatric teaching is at 

 the Asile Sainte-Anne, where the professor of this de-

 clinics. Who is to succeed the late lamented BALLET is 

 not now known to us, but he is sure to be a strong man

 service in mental diseases, so that the student devoting 

 himself to this branch can with profit put in a large part 

 of his time here. At the Salpetriere and at Bicetre are 

 departments for the insane, freely accessible to graduates 

 and where from time to time courses are given.

 most clinical lectures delivered "ante meridian," the 

 student devoted to clinical work alone may be a little 

 embarrassed in the disposition of his afternoons. Espe- 

 cially welcome to him will be the Infirmerie Speciale du 

 Depot in the Quai de 1'Horloge where every afternoon 

 Prof. Ernest DUPRE (the worthy successor of LASEGUE 

 and GARNIER) examines those mentally deranged or 

 suspected of mental disorder who have been arrested or 

 picked up by the police. The work involves no profound 

 study of any case, as the Infirmerie is a depot of transit;
