‘In the Surgical Text-book the number of bones is stated to be three hundred. These, as well as their position in the body, are as follows: One hundred and twenty bones are said to be in the extremities. In the two sides, hips, breast, back, and abdomen,—in all these, one should know, there are altogether one hundred and seventeen. In the neck and upwards there exist sixty-three bones.’ (Original Text in § 92.)
