 psychology was allowed to include studies on the cerebral cortex — 

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

 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 wa.y 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
