nami ometimes applied to two different structures Reform is therefore needed, but it is not the part of a translator to undertake it, and I have perforce been content to follow the authorities. My leading autnonty lias been the tenth edition o i Quain's "Elements of Anatomy," but I have also had Macalister's "Text-booK 01 Human Anatomy" in .(instant requisition.From these works I have, when more than one name is used to denote any structure, taken all those in comn use, the ordei in which the alternative names have been printed showing most often the relative frequencj ol employment; in a few cases, however, where a name less commonly used has appeared to me distinctly preferable for any reason to an alternative name more commonly used, I li ive given the less usual but preferable name the precedence. To this small extent only have I been influenced by my own views in the matter of anatomical terminologj ; and, with tin-cm eption of those names which for the reason already furnished arc preceded by an asterisk, all the terms in the English nomenclature are in use by one or more of the leading English authorities.As regards the terminology employed in the United States of America, the contributions of the scientific investigators of that country to anatomy have, owing to tne early perfection of this branch of study, been far less extensive than in the case of the other sciences ancillary to medicine ; and the science of anatomy was for the most part taken bodily over, text-books, terminology, and all complete. A few differences, however, exist, and I have therefore collated my manuscript with that useful little work, Young's "Synopsis of Human Anatomy," and any divergent terms in use in America only have been inserted in my translation, and distinguished by the addition of the letters "U.S." * of the facial nerve, 6S nervi facialis, 68 vestibularis inferior, 68 superior, 68

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
