G.&.M. nr. 425.: "Hyrtl, skilled in making anatomical preparations, built up a collection which was unsurpessed in Europe. In the above work he described a method of his own invention, in which he injected the blood supplies of the different organs, the adjacent parts being eaten away by acids, in order to show the finest ramifications." The colored lithographic plts. are of the finest order, representing the tympanum, lachrymal apparatus, bronchi, portal vein, bile ducts, kidney, and other structures with bloodvessels. (Choulant-Frank p.422.) Waller. 5047. His Corrosions-Anatomie is a permanent memento o his unique skill in making anatomic preparations. - 56.
