The accompanying portrait (Frontispiece), taken in 1895, represents Borovsky— wearing the uniform of a medical officer in the Imperial Russian Army—at the age of 32, at the period when his researches on oriental sore were being conducted. The original portrait was given to the late Prof. С. H. Е. Моттлмл., F.R.S., by Prof. Е. М. PAwLowsky, of the Military Medical Academy, Leningrad, for inclusion in the ‘‘ Portrait Gallery ” of parasitologists at the Molteno Institute, Cambridge, and has been kindly placed at my disposal by Prof. О. KeiLtin, F.R.S. The biographical data for this note were compiled from articles Бу I. I. OrLov (Pensée Méd. Uzbéquistane, 2, 1927, p. 5), Е. М. Paw.Lowsky (Jbid., р. 16), L. IssaEv (Med. Parasitol. & Parasit. Dis., Moscow, 1, 1933, р. 277) and from two anonymous obituary notices (Jbid., р. 287, and Munch. med. Wschr. 80, 1933, p. 518). APPENDIX II. \ Ом Sart Sore.} BY Р. Е. BOROVSKY, Junior House Surgeon, Bacteriological Department of the Tashkent Military Hospital. Sart sore is not widely distributed in Tashkent; it occurs only sporadically and new arrivals in the country do not Ее contract the disease as in the case of Pendeh’sore, Aleppo boil, etc. ‘The sores very rarely appear in the form of a multiple eruption; in most cases two or three sores occur, while solitary sores are not uncommon. Sart sore is thus more restricted in its distribution than Pendeh sore and its incidence amongst the troops is not of an epidemic character. Nevertheless, judging from the clinical and the anatomico-pathological pictures described by HEIDENREICH? and by ВАРТ- SCHEWSKY, Sart sore is probably identical with Pendeh sore. It may therefore be assumed that the cause must be the same, though the conditions for the manifestation and spread of the infection are different. Moreover, in the Murgab valley itself the disease is not uniformly distributed, according to the investigations of RAPTSCHEWSKY ( Voenno-Medicinsky Zurnal, 1889, Book VIII). HEIDENREICH and RaprscHEwsky differ in their conclusions both as regards the cause of Pendeh sore and the method of its dissemination. On perusing both investigations one is forced to conclude that HEIDENREICH has investigated unsuitable old cases which had already become ulcerated, and that consequently the results obtained were doubtful. Thus, 1[Published in: WVoenno-Medicinskij Zurnal (= Military Medical Yournal), St. Petersburg, November, 1898, Part clxxxxv, Book 11 (76th year) pp. 925-941, 2 bent es: (In Russian.) ить Translated from the Russtan text by С.
