The collection consists of three different sections, namely temporal bones with normal variations as well as under pathological conditions, pathological samples preserved in formalin and about 1000 microscopical slides. This collection is now situated at the ENT clinic, Karolinska Hospital, Stockholm in its total former condition. The article discusses the circumstances under which the collection was collected.
