A study of the supracondyloid process in the living

Abstract

The literature of variation in man forms a considerable proportion of the writings in anatomy.It is a record mainly of observationa made from dissections or upon the skeleton-that is to say upon the dead remains.The period during which the records have been taken is long enough to prove that all of the more usual and obvious variations have been revealed and described in greater or less detail.Very little is known, however, about the inheritance of the long list of variations encountered in the cadavers of the dissecting laboratory.
