Learning Anatomy, Vol 1
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tapetum_lucidum#Classification>
Interestingly enough, I was quite familiar with the word 'Tapetum':
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tapetum_of_corpus_callosum>
This summer I happened to meet the latest edition of Gray's Anatomy - at
the price of a Zuiko 350/2.8 :-)
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gray%27s_Anatomy#Most_recent_available_editions>
Here we don't use that book to learn Anatomy; at our School of Medicine
the reference books are French: mainly Testut - Latarjet. But
surprisingly I found that most classical illustrations inside Gray's
were done by G. Devy and S. Dupret - same outstanding masters who had
drawn everything inside my 1944 Edition of the Testut - Latarjet.
Small world ... now and then.
