[On the lecture on the history of anatomy which Lu Xun heard in Sendai].
In "Fujino Sensei," Lu Xun wrote that in his first lecture on anatomy, osteology Professor Fujino talked about the history of anatomy in Japan; although Lu Xun's extant lecture notes do not show any mention of Fujino's comments on the history of anatomy. However, since the lecture notes of senior students mention the history of anatomy, we do not find any reason to assume that Lu Xun did not hear about the history of anatomy in the lecture. Furthermore, the timetable of lectures indicates that the first lecture of anatomy was attributed to Professor Fujino. It is concluded that the description of the first anatomical lecture in "Fujino Sensei" was written based on Lu Xun's actual experience. The lecture on the history of anatomy which Lu Xun heard was made by Professor Fujino; probably based on a lecture by Professor Shikinami which was recorded in the notes of Saito Ryusho, a student who was three years senior to Lu Xun.
