Introduction. 



Five conditions have led to the preparation of this article 

 at this time. 



§1. The American Neurological Association, at its session 

 in Philadelphia, June 5, 1896, unanimously adopted the Report of 

 the Committee on Neuronymy embodying the previous reports 

 of three other American committees and extending the list of 

 Latin terms recommended from eleven to forty ; see §80. 



§2. The Anatomische Gesellschaft, at its session in Basel, 

 April 19, 1895, adopted the Report of its Committee on Ana- 

 tomische Nomenclatur, comprising a list of Latin names for all 

 the visible parts of the human body (see Table VII), and pro- 

 vided for its revision at intervals of three years. Presumably 

 the Gesellschaft sanctioned the declarations of principles which 

 had been published by the secretary of the committee (Krause, 

 '91, '94; see Part V.)^ The list was published early in the 

 summer of 1895 as a part of an article, "Die Anatomische 

 Nomenclatur," by Professor Wilhelm His, constituting a "Sup- 

 plement-Band " to the "Anatomische Abtheilung " of the 

 Archiv fur Anatomie ttnd Physiologic. Certain principles and 

 certain portions of the list merit high commendation ; others, 



'The more important parts of this article were embodied in a lecture, "The 

 Present Aspects of the Nomenclature of the Brain," delivered at the Marine 

 Biological Laboratory, Aug. 3, 1896, 



'See the Bibliography, Part IX. The date after the name of a writer de- 

 signates the year of publication. The joint works of S. H. Gage and myself 

 are indicated by W. & G., '82, '86, '89.
