IMHO Tellyesniczky is a Polish name, but I found a Kalman Tellyesniczky in
an Hungarian Journal, former head of the department of Anatomy at the
Semmelweis-Medical-School in Budapest (http://anatomia.sote.hu/indexe.htm).
Tellyesniczky Kálmán (orvos, anatómus, egyetemi tanár, tanszékvezető;
képzőművészeti anatómus, ma is használatos szövettani fix=E1ló szer
előállítója; Tellyesniczky János vízépítő mérnök =F6ccse; öngyilkos lett)
1868-1932.
For all of us who can read fluently Hungarian,
BTW the recipe:
Telly's fixative solution
Tellyesniczky/Fekete
100 ml 70% ethanol
5 ml glacial acetic acid
10 ml 37-40% formalin
Those Americans tend to abbreviate anything... even names.
Another, very similar, is Gendre's fixative
80 ml 90% ethanol, saturated with picric acid
15 ml 37-40% formalin
5 ml glacial acetic acid
Hih
