NOTE CONCERNING THE NOMENCLATURE OF 

 THE MUSCLES. 



IN the year 1889 a Commission was nominated by the German Anatomical 

 Society, at the instigation of Professor His of Leipzig, to consider the question of 

 Anatomical Nomenclature, and to prepare a series of names which, it was hoped, 

 would be universally adopted. The Commission has recently issued a report dealing 

 with Myological Nomenclature, but the printing of this Volume was at that time 

 too far advanced to allow of the adoption of the names therein proposed. The 

 chief differences between the names recommended by the Commission and those 

 used, or given as synonyms, in this work are shown in the appended table.
