IV Preface. 



Making the anatomical terms uniform means much more than simply 

 changing some of the names, for it brings us one step nearer to a know- 

 ledge of the normal. In casting the new nomenclature the leading anatomists 

 of the world occupied much of their time in determining the normal and for 

 this reason if for no other the BNA should be adopted. In the translation 

 where the terms used are very different from the old nomenclature the latter 

 are inserted in brackets. 



The Atlas speaks for itself. If its reception is as favorable generally 

 as it has been at the Johns Hopkins University it will soon become the 

 standard aid to our students of practical anatomy.
