Abstract
THE collaboration of two professors of anatomy with a radiologist has resulted in the production of a work which marks a new departure in the study of surface anatomy, and should be highly appreciated by the medical practitioner and student. The work is divided into six parts, devoted respectively to the upper limb, chest and back, abdomen, head and neck, vertebral column and lower limb, preceded by an introduction containing an account of radiological technique. There are three appendixes, containing tables of ossification, a summary of ossification and segmental innervation of muscles. The radiological methods include Å“sophagoscopy, gastroscopy, cystoscopy, ventriculography and encephalography.
