Bowman, Sir William — An English an- 

 atomist and ophthalmic surgeon, born 

 1816; died 1892. His name is preserved 

 in the glands of the olfactory mucous 

 membrane — Bowman's glands, — also 

 Bowman's capsule in the kidney. He 

 was consulting surgeon and vice-presi- 

 dent of the London Ophthalmic Hos- 

 pital in Moorfields, and a successful 

 cultivator of microscopic anatomy. 

 Richardson says : "It remained for one 

 of our own generation — the late Sir 

 William Bowman — to work out the 

 problem of the capsule, the malpighian 

 corpuscle, the convoluted tubule, and 

 the rest of the anatomical physiological 

 problem [of the kidney], which every 

 student in these days is bound to 

 learn."

Broca, Paul — A French surgeon and 

 anthropologist, born at Sainte Fay, 

 Department of the Gironde, in 1824;

 covered that the left inferior frontal 

 convolution is, as a rule, more highly 

 developed than the right, and that it 

 is the center for language. This 

 region is termed Broca's convolution. 

 While surgeon to the Hospital des 

 Cliniques, he proposed anesthesia by 

 means of hypnotism, or staring at a 

 glittering point, a form of Braidism.

 histologist, born 1837 ; died 1884. The
