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.
