Abstract
THE principal changes in the new and greatly enlarged edition of this work, of which the first appeared in 1921, are the introduction of fuller accounts of the examination of the living body, and especially of parts important in clinical practice, a short description of the action of muscles and the changes in the form of parts when they function, the incorporation of numerous new figures and skiagrams of the stomach, intestines and urinary tract, end a change in the nomenclature to that adopted by the Anatomical Society of Great Britain and Ireland.
