Catalogue of the Specimens Illustrating the Osteology and Dentition of Vertebrated Animals, Recent and Extinct contained in the Museum of the Royal College of Surgeons of England

Abstract

IT is now twenty-five years ago since Prof. Owen, the then Conservator of the Museam of the Royal College of Surgeons, completed the last volume of the catalogue of the osteological collection. Since that time the additions to the Museum have been so numerous and valuable that the original catalogue has ceased to fulfil the requirements of the collection, and the preparation of a new catalogue has become necessary.

Catalogue of the Specimens Illustrating the Osteology and Dentition of Vertebrated Animals, Recent and Extinct contained in the Museum of the Royal College of Surgeons of England.

By William Henry Flower, Conservator of the Museum. Part 1. Man. (London: David Bogue, 1879.)
