APPENDIX 



EXPLANATION OF SYMBOLS USED IN THE 

 ANATOMICAL ILLUSTRATIONS 



SINCE nearly all of the illustrations of anatomical parts are 

 from the work of Snodgrass it may be best to give the list 

 of symbols and alphabetical lettering prepared by him and 

 given on pp. 141-147 of his paper. These will aid in iden- 

 tifying parts which are labeled in the illustrations, used in 

 this book to illustrate certain portions only.
