Abstract
A DESCRIPTION of the work that is being done in connection with the photographic star chart and catalogue is given in La Nature by M. A. Fraissinet. We are indebted to that journal for the accompanying animals—remain as heretofore the charge of the Linacre professorship. In short, the treatment of man's structure as part of the general science of morphology remains necessarily the business of the professor of Comparative Anatomy. The exposition of the geography of the human body, in which the surgeon, and to some extent the physician, must be as expert and familiar as a townsman in the pathways of the city in which he resides and does his business—is the distinctive function of the teacher of “human anatomy” in a medical school. It is for this special purpose that we have just added to the excellent laboratories and museum already arranged and used for the study of anatomy in its widest sense, a new dissecting room and adjuncts adapted to the reception and proper treatment of human bodies.
