Abstract
When the organizers of this conference asked me to give a short personal historical review of the development of research work on the lateral line system, I felt of course honored and gladly accepted, be it not without a certain timidity, because among a group of mostly young or middle-aged conference attendants still engaged in active research, I felt somewhat like a living fossil. Therefore I have confined my review to the origin and first results of physiological research.
