===New Appointment===
Dr. George L. Streeter, Associate Professor of Neurology, Wistar Institute of Anatomy Philadelphia, has been appointed professor of anatomy at the University of Michigan to succeed Professor McMurrich.
Dr. Streeter graduated in arts at Union College and in medicine at Columbia University. After graduation he studied anatomy under the direction of Professor Edinger at Frankfort, Professor Hertwig at Berlin, and the late Professor His at Leipzig. During the years 1903-06 he served successively as assistant and instructor in anatomy at the Johns Hopkins University. Dr. Streeters investigations upon the structure and development of the central nervous system of man and of the ostrich, and also upon the development of the internal ear of man are familiar to readers of the American Journal of Anatomy. He has also published experimental studies on the development of the ear of the frog, in the Jour- nal of Experimental Zoology. These contributions have already gained recognition from the writers of several text-books upon anatomy and embryology, in which illustrations have been borrowed. The Wistar Institute has thus indicated another way in which it will aid the growth of anatomy in this country. While its own staff will feel the loss of Dr. Streeter's special capacity in technique and organization, and his stimulating influence in research, a valuable point is gained for the Institute when educational institutions of high standing seek professors from among its investigators.
===Development Of The Interfore-Brain Commissures In The  Human Embryo===
By Geobge L. Stbeetek. Wistar Institute of Anatomy, Philadelphia.
A morphological study of the corpus callosum and the commissure of the hippocampus, based on a series of wax-plate reconstructions of human embryos varying from 80 to 150 mm. in length. All three structures cross the median line in that portion of the brain wall developed from the lamina terminalis. In 80 mm. embryos the corpus callosum consists of a round bundle of fibers lying directly on the commissure of the hippocampus, representing the condition found in non-placental animals. The succeeding growth consists in the lengthening of the fornix and caudal migration of the hippocampal commissure, the latter remaining in close relation to the caudal end of the corpus callosum, which in the meantime, by increase in number of fibers, has extended anterior to the anterior commissure and posterior so as to deck over the region of the third ventricle. The formation of a cavity in the septum lucidum occurs in embryos of about 95 mm. The anterior or olfactory division of the anterior commissure does not enter the olfactory bulb, but is traced to the cortex dorsal to the bulb.

Historic Embryology
Embryology History George Streeter In 1949 the embryologist George Streeter[1] used the replacement of cartilage within the humerus by bone marrow as an arbitrary definition of the embryo to fetus transition.
"If the onset can be recognized in a given specimen, that specimen is straightway classed as a fetus."

1907 Anatomical Record

New Appointment

Dr. George L. Streeter, Associate Professor of Neurology, Wistar Institute of Anatomy Philadelphia, has been appointed professor of anatomy at the University of Michigan to succeed Professor McMurrich.


Dr. Streeter graduated in arts at Union College and in medicine at Columbia University. After graduation he studied anatomy under the direction of Professor Edinger at Frankfort, Professor Hertwig at Berlin, and the late Professor His at Leipzig. During the years 1903-06 he served successively as assistant and instructor in anatomy at the Johns Hopkins University. Dr. Streeters investigations upon the structure and development of the central nervous system of man and of the ostrich, and also upon the development of the internal ear of man are familiar to readers of the American Journal of Anatomy. He has also published experimental studies on the development of the ear of the frog, in the Jour- nal of Experimental Zoology. These contributions have already gained recognition from the writers of several text-books upon anatomy and embryology, in which illustrations have been borrowed. The Wistar Institute has thus indicated another way in which it will aid the growth of anatomy in this country. While its own staff will feel the loss of Dr. Streeter's special capacity in technique and organization, and his stimulating influence in research, a valuable point is gained for the Institute when educational institutions of high standing seek professors from among its investigators.


Development Of The Interfore-Brain Commissures In The Human Embryo

By Geobge L. Stbeetek. Wistar Institute of Anatomy, Philadelphia.

A morphological study of the corpus callosum and the commissure of the hippocampus, based on a series of wax-plate reconstructions of human embryos varying from 80 to 150 mm. in length. All three structures cross the median line in that portion of the brain wall developed from the lamina terminalis. In 80 mm. embryos the corpus callosum consists of a round bundle of fibers lying directly on the commissure of the hippocampus, representing the condition found in non-placental animals. The succeeding growth consists in the lengthening of the fornix and caudal migration of the hippocampal commissure, the latter remaining in close relation to the caudal end of the corpus callosum, which in the meantime, by increase in number of fibers, has extended anterior to the anterior commissure and posterior so as to deck over the region of the third ventricle. The formation of a cavity in the septum lucidum occurs in embryos of about 95 mm. The anterior or olfactory division of the anterior commissure does not enter the olfactory bulb, but is traced to the cortex dorsal to the bulb.

Plate 2. The developmental alterations in the vascular system of the brain of the human embryo

Carnegie Collection, Embryo No. 588 Right and left profile views of a wax-plate reconstruction of the main arteries and veins in a human embryo 4 mm long. (Original plate enlargement about 40 diameters).

  • This stage illustrates the character of the first type of the circulation of the head and its relation to the other blood-vessels of the body.
  • The primary head-vein and its tributaries which form the main drainage-channels of the head as shown in blue.
  • These communicate by anastomosing loops with the capillary plexus everywhere investing the brain-wall, only patches of which are shown in the model.
  • The capillary plexus of the brain-wall is fed by arterial feeders, the stumps of which, as shown in the model, arise from the aortic system.
  • The trunk that persists as the internal carotid artery is already quite definite.
