Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Quain's Elements of Anatomy, Vol. 2 of 3: Part II.; Arthrology; Myology, Angeiology
IN the year 1889 a Commission was nominated by the German Anatomical Society, at the instigation of Professor His of Leipzig, to consider the question of Anatomical Nomenclature, and to prepare a series of names which, it was hoped, would be universally adopted. The Commission has recently issued a report dealing with Myological Nomenclature, but the printing of this Volume was at that time too far advanced to allow of the adoption of the names therein proposed. The chief differences between the names recommended by the Commission and those used, or given as synonyms, in this work are shown in the appended table.
