Abstract
PROF. CARLO GIACOMINI, an eminent Italian anatomist and anthropologist, was born at Sale near Alessandria on November 25, 1840. He obtained his medical qualification in 1864 at Turin, where he divided his time between anatomy and clinical medicine until 1880, when he was appointed professor of anatomy and gained a high reputation as a teacher. The classical researches with which he is connected are those on the anatomy and teratology of the brain, his method of preservation of the cerebral convolutions, the anatomy of the negro, and investigations on anomalies of development of the human embryo. He was also co-editor of L'Osservatore. The Museum of Anatomy at Turin owes much to him for its collections. He died at Turin on July 25, 1892.
