Book Description

Excerpt from A Dictionary of Scientific Terms: Pronunciation, Derivation, and Definition of Terms in Biology, Botany, Zoology, Anatomy, Cytology, Embryology, Physiology In a first edition of a book of this kind, errors of omission are inevitable, as few people have convenient access to each text book and treatise, even in one subject, as it makes its appearance Suggestions for additions will be welcomed and noted for future use, and should be accompanied by the name of the work in which the original definition is to be found; derivation offers no difficulty as a rule, but pronunciation might be indicated by coiners of entirely new terms.
