in gamma rays spectroscopy. The method proposed by Skobel'- 

 tsyn of using the Wilson cloud chamber in a magnetic field has 

 been widely used for studying beta and gamma rays spectra and 

 for basic investigations of properties of elementary particles. 

 In 1927-29 Skobel'tsyn studied cosmic rays. In the postwar 

 years, he carried out research on the study of cosmic ray 

 showers. 



In November 1962 Skobel'tsyn received the Order of Lenin.

SKRYABIN, KONSTANTIN IVANOVICH (Helminthologist) 



K. I. Skryabin was born December 7, 1878. In 1905 he gradu- 

 ated from Yur'ev Veterinary Institute and until 1911 worked as 

 a veterinarian in Central Asia. He was professor at the Don 

 Veterinary Institute in Novocherkassk from 1917 to 1920 when 

 he became professor at Moscow Veterinary Institute (now the 

 Moscow Veterinary Academy). Also in 1920, he was made 

 Chairman of the Helminthological Department of the State Insti- 

 tute of Experimental Veterinary Sciences which he originally 

 organized and then, in 1931, reorganized into the AU-Union 

 Institute of Helminthology. Skryabin has been the Director 

 since its founding. He was Chairman in 1921 to 1949 of the 

 Helminthological Department of the Tropical Institute (now the 

 Institute of Malaria, Medical Parasitology and Helminthology) 

 founded by him. In 1942 he became Chief of the Laboratory of 

 Helminthology of the U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences. Skryabin 

 was elected an Academician of the U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences 

 in 1939 and in 1944 a member of the U.S.S.R. Academy of
