§141. Later, March 27, 1892, I wrote: 



" In my letter of April 30, 1891, I announced that I should mail 

 you a copy of the sheets of the article "Anatomical Terminology" 

 from the eighth volume of the Reference Handbook of the Medical 

 Sciences, published in 1889. I do not find record of its reception. If 

 it was lost in the mail^ I will try to lend you another. I am still of the 

 opinion that the article contains the essence of what has been and is to 

 be done, and that its perusal will not only facilitate the labors of your 

 committee but enable present workers in the matter to avoid neglect 

 and injustice toward their predecessors from Chaussier down." 



§142. To my earlier inquiry (March 20, 1892), as to 

 whether .the Handbook article had reached him, Dr. Krause 

 replied under date of April 12: "The [second?] copy of your 

 mentioned article has been set in circulation among the mem- 

 bers of the committee." 



§143. The foregoing was my last communication from 

 the secretary. A feature of the article of Prof. His ( '95 ; see 

 Part VI) led me to ask Dr. Krause (Dec, i, 1895) whether 

 the article had ever been transmitted to the former. To this 

 query, which was repeated July 10, 1896, no reply has been 

 received. See, however, the letter of Prof. His, Aug. 27, 1896; 

 Part VI. 



§144. On the fourth of April, 1892, Dr. Krause had 

 sent me a list of the then members of the committee (eighteen 

 in number), and suggested that copies of my papers be sent to 

 them direct. So far as practicable that has been done ever 

 since. 



§145. The kind offer made in Dr. Krause's letter of 

 April 15, 1 89 1, was duly fulfilled. From time to time there 

 reached me copies of most of the several "Abstimmungs" and 

 "Schlussredactions", the last arriving early in 1894. They 

 comprise nine hundred and forty-two large pages, and constitute 

 a monument to the learning and industry of the secretary of the 

 committee. Although not published in the ordinary sense, 

 the large number of the committee, their wide European distri- 

 bution, and the commentaries of Prof. His ( '95 ), lead me to 



' Apparently this copy was lost in transmission ; a second was obtained 

 from a member of an American Committee and mailed with the above letter.
