    • He noted: "Anatomical collections, for example, for the mere teaching the student human elementary anatomy should, probably, contain nothing more than a few human skeletons of all ages; sets of the separate bones, Varieties of healthy structures, wherever occurring, preserved as well as may be. All other preparations are not only useless, but positively injurious. This is my matured and deliberate opinion after an experience active professional life. Minutely dissected and set-up preparations, as they are called, of various intricate points in normal elementary anatomy merely encourage indolence, and do not even show what they are intended R.

    • Lonsdale, Robert Knox, see p. 4. A brief item was published in The Medical Times of March 20 1841: "We regret to be told, on good authority, that Dr Knox quits Edinburgh this spring for Australia. The unknown." This item continued: "The Australias and New Zealand appear to afford prospects to men of talent, energy, and enterprise, - and we do not see why they should not, after acquiring the profession of physic, sure...a sure trade when all else fails." The possibility exists therefore that the author of this item got confused about the information he received from his source. While Dr Robert Knox left Edinburgh for Britain for the Antipodes.

    • "In 1824 he [i.e. Dr Knox] privately married a person beneath him in station, and thus greatly injured his prospects. His wife died in 1841, having borne him six children, of whom only one son, Edward, survived the proceeds [from the publication of his popular books and papers in the popular periodicals] enabled him to keep his family in Edinburgh. ... In May 1854 the death of his son Robert greatly distressed him." See: Anon, During most of the time that Knox lectured on anatomy, his family home was at 4 Newington Place, Edinburgh. The last official listing for him at this address appears in the 1844-1845 Directory. It is relevant that a in the Directory at this address during the 1830s and her last listing at this address is also in the 1844-1845 Directory. This strongly suggests that the family retained this house until about that time, when they possibly rented, premises and, if the latter hypothesis is correct, would not be expected to appear in subsequent Directories.

    • In the "Old Catalogue," a lengthy "Note" has been inserted that Ross and Taylor believed refers to the transfer of the 120 preparations in Barclay's collection from Knox's care into that of the College. This is "Preparations in Comparative Anatomy removed from Dr Knox's Premises Sept. 1828." They were of the view that this heading and the following list, with no associated descriptive details of the individual either Robert or Frederick Knox. See: Ross & Taylor, Robert Knox's catalogue, p. 273. It is this author's belief that this list was in fact written by Dr Robert Knox. There must also be considerable doubt whether interpretation, as one of the most impressive items in Barclay's collection, the articulated skeleton of an Indian elephant presented to him by Dr George Ballingall, does not appear in this list.

He reported that "The Museums of the College of Surgeons in Edinburgh and London, as they now stand, are collections of all sorts of heterogeneous preparations and objects having very remote other; nine-tenths of the preparations are altogether useless in practice (see p. 307). He continued: "Mr John Lizars' museum must have cost in its formation at least £3,000; when sold privately a short time since it then, when attempted to be re-sold, it did not realise £250. In the meantime the profession has abandoned visiting the extensive pathological museums of the colleges - that of the College of Surgeons of Edinburgh, most liberal way to the whole profession, is never visited by the Practical men, it has been said, take no interest in museums"

In this regard, he was draw the latest views of these authors to the attention of his class, whether he agreed with them or otherwise. He had always been keenly interested in comparative anatomy, and used his profound knowledge of explanation of human morphological detail.

    • Examples of cervical ribs from five human subjects and from one animal species are still available in the Anatomical Museum. All of these specimens were described in detail in one or other paper, and three of also illustrated. The animal species still represented in the collection is from the A1̈ (the three-toed sloth), said to be the only mammalian species that does not possess seven cervical veretebrae. Knox speculated papers the possible origin of the 8th and 9th cervical vertebrae in this species. Knox also noted that the Unan [sic; possibly the Unau] (the two-toed sloth) possesses only seven cervical vertebrae. See: Knox R. Physiology. The cervical ribs in man: a memoir.
