Note 11 — PROLEGOMENA.
Reading edition
Autenrieth, in his “Supplementa ad Historiam Embryonis Humani”, has given the dimensions of the embryo and fœtus from a week to the 126th day of growth, with a description of the several parts as they appear at each period. From these he has drawn several conclusions respecting the growth of the human fœtus which have been generally adopted. Soemmering, in his “Icones Embryonum Humanorum,” has also given the dimensions of the human fœtus, from the earliest period he has seen it to its full maturity, with plates.
