vi PREFACE 



and Leveille"'s Atlas of Neurology. Their accuracy and 

 artistic finish render no apology necessary for their reproduc- 

 tion in this book. The tracings reproduced in Figures 107, 

 in, and 112 were obtained for me by Dr. G. D. Mathewson, 

 to whom I am greatly indebted. I wish to express my 

 appreciation of the kindness of Dr. Knox, who helped to 

 select and permitted me to reproduce three illustrations from 

 his work on Radiography. I have also to thank Dr. S. G. 

 Scott and Mr. Chas. A. Clark, who most kindly provided me 

 with the radiographs which appear as Figures 142 and 84, 

 respectively. 



At the present time anatomical nomenclature, so far as 

 anatomical teaching is concerned, is unfortunately in a very 

 chaotic condition. Until some general agreement can be 

 come to with regard to this matter, not only by Anatomists, 

 but also by all who are interested in the study and teaching 

 of the Medical Sciences, no nomenclature can be regarded as 

 completely satisfactory. In this book the Bale terminology, 

 which has now been adopted in several medical schools in 

 this country, has been used to a large extent, but the old and 

 better known names have been inserted in brackets, wherever 

 the possibility of confusion has arisen. The terms medial and 

 lateral, however, have been used throughout in place of 

 internal and external, and it has been considered unnecessary 

 to insert the latter terms in brackets. It is hoped that the 

 Glossary may be useful to those teachers of Clinical Medicine 

 who desire to familiarise themselves with the Bale terminology. 

 It must, however, be clearly understood that the Glossary 

 contains only those terms which are commonly used in 

 Clinical Medicine and which are not identical in the two 

 terminologies. 



In conclusion, I hope that the book may prove of service 

 and of interest, not only to the general practitioner, but also 

 to the medical student during his study of Clinical Medicine.
