Under the heading of Applied Anatomy many important medical and surgical

considerations are discussed. In the use of descriptive terms, concerning

which
widely different opinions prevail, the Editor has sought to take a
middle course,
employing such designations as seem sanctioned by their usage in current
medi-
cal literature. The Basle Nomina A7iatomica Nomenclature, in italics, has
been
added in parentheses, except where the two nomenclatures are identical,
and the
terms are listed in the General Index. Here, also, they have been
italicized, and
thus distinguished they afford a working glossary of the BNA system.
Other
synonyms are printed in Roman type.

Illustrations have been added from original drawings and preparations, and

some from standard works, wherever it seemed that any important point
could
be made more clear.

The Editor is greatly indebted to his assistants. Dr. Howard Dehoney,

Demon-
strator of Anatomy, and Dr. Henry E. Radasch, Assistant Professor of
Histology
and Embryology in the Jefferson Medical College, for valuable aid in the
prepara-
tion of this revision. The Editor also wishes to thank Mr. William A.
Hassett, of
Lea & Febiger, for indexing the book, for seeing it through the press,
and for the

valuable aid he has ungrudgingly given.
