Excerpt from Journal of Anatomy, Vol. 51: Originally the Journal of Anatomy and Physiology The issue of the first part of this volume of the Journal of Anatomy And Physiology coincides with a change in the management and control of the Journal. In future it will he named the Journal of Anatomy, and will be the official organ of the Anatomical Society of Great Britain and Ireland, whose property it now is. It must, however, be clearly understood that the change of proprietorship does not involve any departure from the policy hitherto followed of accepting for publication in the pages of the Journal approved articles other than those read before the Anatomical Society. The Journal was founded by the late Sir William Turner in 1806. In a preface which he contributed to the fortieth volume he gives his reasons for establishing the Journal, and mentions the changes which had occurred in its editorial staff up to that year. He also acknowledges the active part taken in the arrangements for the institution of the Journal by the late Sir George Murray Humphry, "who undertook for some years the duty of acting editor." "On the completion of Volume XX. in 1887 a new series was commenced with Professor Turner as acting editor." Although in later years others were responsible for the editorial work, "he retained to the end his interest in the Journal, and every sheet of each issue passed through his hands before going to the press." He died on the 15th of February of the present year: had he lived a few months longer he would have had the satisfaction of seeing the completion of the jubilee volume. In 1906 Professors A. Macalister and D. J. Cunningham undertook the management of the Journal, and Macalister edited three volumes (XXXII. to XXXIV. inclusive). Cunningham followed with the next seven volumes (XXXV. to XLI. inclusive), and "under his auspices an important change in the size and appearance of the Journal was made in 1905 in the fortieth volume." Macalister resumed the duties of acting editor in 1908, and since that year has edited nine volumes (XLII. to L. inclusive).
