 the mathematical and scientific faculty. In 1855 the French 

 academy presented to him and his co-adjutor Boeck a gift of 2000 

 fres for their work on leprosy, which sum they transferrecl by a 

 deed of gift on the 15th of March 1856, to the Norwegian University,

 every third year be applied to giving a prize for a treatise on skin 

 diseases. On the 21st August 1863, Danielssen was made, for his 

 scientific services, Knight of the O. of St. Olaf, and on the 8th of

 meeting of the Bergen Citizens ordered his bast to be executed 

 in marble, by the sculptor Skeibrok, and placed in the vestibule 

 of the Museum; and in 1883 his portrait was painted by Leis 

 Schjelderup, at the expense of medical men, chiefly in Kristiania 

 and Bergen, and hung up in the new state hospital of the capital, 

 ..in order, that also this portrait may help to preserve his memory 

 among future generations, and especially among medical students".
