being what it is. He has not nearly so many beds as 

 Marie, Dejerine, and Souques; but his turnover is more 

 rapid, he has more acute cases and also a large out- 

 patient following. During at least one semester he 

 gives a course of semi-weekly clinical lectures which are 

 unexcelled and which no student of neurology can afford 

 to miss. Also one may make the ward visits with him 

 and witness the examination of such patients as are

Ivry is a suburb where is located another huge hospice, 

 like the Salpetriere and Bicetre, and like them it houses 

 a large number of neurological cases. Until the outbreak

 taken and whose services visited as occasion offers. A 

 full list is impossible; but of the best are Georges GUIL- 

 LAIN, Henri CLAUDE, HUET, ALQUIER, Andre LERI, 

 LAIGNEL-LAVASTINE, CAMUS, KLIPPEL, ENRIQUEZ, 

 JUMENTIE, and LHERMITTE; for surgery of the nerv-

We would particularly note that no follower of neu- 

 rology should miss the monthly or semi-monthly meetings 

 of the Societe de Neurologic.

 laboratories of anatomy and pathology, there are labora- 

 tories of neuro-pathology in connection with the services
