The journal of comparative pathology from 1943 to 2008.

The account of the Journal's first 53 years (Pattison, 1988), also reproduced in this issue, closed by noting the interruption of publication brought about by wartime exigencies and the death in 1941 of its founder and owner, Sir John McFadyean (Fig. 1). The present article considers the further development of the Journal from that time to the present day, a period of 65 years.
