Abstract of Report. — The grant originally made for physiologic 

 psychology was allowed to include studies on the cerebral cortex — 

 its structures, functions, pathology. As a member of the staff of the 

 Sheppard and Enoch Pratt Hospital, Dr. Farrar's work has included 

 both clinical and laboratory studies, the latter dealing particularly 

 with the normal and pathologic histology of the gray cortex. He 

 has published articles on various phases of the subject, and there 

 are also under "way several other studies, both on developmenta 

 and adult structure. These he hopes to have follow at intervals the 

 preliminary paper on the ' ' Growth of neurohistologic technique 

 during the nineteenth century," which was published in the August 

 and September numbers of the Review of Neurology and Psychiatry.
