210 NATURAL SCIENCE [September 
THE death is announced of THEOPHILE CHUDZINSKI at Paris on June 
18th, aged 55. By birth a Pole, he studied at Moscow until the insur- 
rection of 1863 caused him to give up his studies and join in the move- 
ment. This was followed by an incarceration of several months in 
Austria, but escaping he made his way to Belgium and subsequently 
to France, where he spent the rest of his life. It was in pursuing his 
anatomical researches that he was first noticed by Broca at Paris, who 
later gave him a post in the Laboratoire d’Anthropologie des Hautes- 
Etudes. For several years Chudzinski assisted his master until the 
latter’s death, when he devoted himself to anatomical works, particu- 
larly to the study of the brain and the anatomical resemblances and 
differences between that of man and of the anthropoid apes. A large 
number of anthropological and anatomical works were the result of 
his minute researches. These, although edited in Paris, were not 
published in French. 
Lucren Brart, who died recently, was a talented author, and although 
he chose to veil his scientific knowledge in the form of novels, that 
knowledge was incontestable. A great love of travel took him in 
1845 to Mexico, where he studied archaeology and ethnography. In 
addition to his novels, the chief of which are “ Le Roi des Prairies,” 
“ Entre deux Océans,” etc., he wrote a volume on the red races for the 
Bibliotheque ethnologique, as well as a monograph on the Aztecs.
