Abstract
THOSE who follow the trend of human anatomy in England may have noted the appearance of certain additions which Dr. Franklin, of Oriel College, Oxford, has made to our knowledge of the venous system. It is uncommon in these days to find an anatomist or physiologist who, before setting down the contribution he is to make to modern knowledge, takes pains to discover not only what his immediate predecessors know but also what his remote predecessors have discovered, in the particular field of inquiry he has undertaken.
