Gegenbaur

Gegenbaur, Karl, born in 1826 at Wiirzburg and educated at Jena, where he became a qrrivatdocent and professor of anatomy, was appointed in 1873 to the chair of that science at Heidelberg.

His contributions to the learned journals appeared early, and in 1876 he began to edit the Morpholoejical Year Book. About this time appeared his Outlines of Comparative Anatomy, which was condensed in a still more valuable work published in 1878 and translated into English by Professor Ray Lankester and Mr. Jeffrey Bell. The Textbook of Human Anatomy was brought out in 1883.
