J. Path. Bact., 29. - 1926, 8°, pp.195-202, 3 Tafeln mit 6 Abbildungen, orig. Broschur. Rare Reprint! "Dr. C. Da Fano reader in histology, King's College, University of London, died with unexpected suddenness at his residence at Campden Hill on Mar. 14, in his forty-eighth year. By his death medical science in Great Britain loses one of the ablest exponents of histology. Dr. Da Fano was the third son of Commendatore Alessandro Da Fano. He received his early training in histology in Golgi's Institute of Histology and General Pathology at the University of Pavia, where he graduated M.D. in 1905 and later (1912) became Libera Docente in morbid anatomy. He obtained a travelling fellowship at Milan and worked in Ziehen's neurological clinic, University of Berlin, in 1908, and in the following year with Dr. Bashford at the Imperial Cancer Research Fund, London. After a period of work at Groningen he returned to the University of Milan as vicedirector of the Pathological Institute. From 1915 until 1918 he served as captain in the Italian medical corps on the Italian front. In 1918 he went to King's College, University of London, as lecturer in histology, and in 1922 was given the title of reader in histology in the University. Dr. Da Fano specialised in the histology of the central nervous system. His advanced lectures on that subject attracted large audiences, and the histological specimens by which these lectures were illustrated formed a complete and noteworthy collection. His researches, published in a series of about sixty papers in various journals, were mainly concerned with the Golgi apparatus in cells and the special lesions of the nervous system in such affections as encephalitis lethargica. He had a very extensive knowledge of foreign languages, and he generously devoted a considerable portion of his time to acting as one of the editors of Physiological Abstracts. In 1915 he married Miss Dorothea Landau, and leaves a son and daughter." NATURE, April 9, 1927, pp.534. Nach Dr. J. R.
