Abstract
THE death of Prof. Nicholas Kulchitsky on January 30, at the age of sixty-nine, has removed one of the foremost of Russian histologists. For many years he occupied the chair of histology at the University of Charkov, where he accomplished most of his researches. His methods of fixing and staining tissues are now in universal use-those for smooth muscle are particularly well known. He devoted much attention and made numerous important observations on the distribution of connective tissue in the intestinal tract and other organs. His text-books of histology are standard works and at present are commonly used by Russian medical students. That his work was well known outside his own country is shown by the fact that he was an honorary member of the Anatomical Society of Great Britain and Ireland.
