The best-know-n work of Samuel Langhorne Clemens (".Mark Twain') (ISG'J). It is the account of a trip undertaken in 1807 Ij}' a party of Americans, who chartered the Quaker City and visited various countries of Kurope. The humor of the work con- sists hucely in the contrast between the excita- bility and enthusiasm of the southern races and the assumed indifference and ignorance of the American tourists, and their refusal to be im- pressed by unfamiliar surroundings. The person- ality of various actual members of the company is amusingly portrayed, and the thoroughly American humor of the work gave it an immedi- ate success. INNOMINATE AKTEEY (Lat. arterin in- nominata, artery without a name). The first large branch given oil' from the arch of the aorta at a distance, on the average, of three and one- half inches from the aortic valve. It divides into the right carotid and the right subclavian arte- ries. It is separated by an interval of less than one-half an inch from the left common carotid artery. Its calibre is large, and its average length is about one and one-half inches. Its course corresponds to a line drawn from the middle of the sternum, or the point of junction of the manubrium and the gladiolus, to the right sterno-clavicular joint. Its rel.itions are as fol- lows: In front, the inferior cervical cardiac branch of the right pneumogastric nerve, the left ven.a iiinominata and riglit inferior thyroid veins, the thymus gland, and the sterno-thyroid and sterno-hyoid muscles ; behind, the trachea ; on the right, the pleura, the right vena innnminata, and right pneumogastric nerve; on the left, the left carotid artery and the thymus gland. Through the iniioniinato artery flows all the bhiod to the right side of the head and neck and to the right upper extremity. ■ Unsuccessful attempts have been made to cure aneurism of the right sub- clavian by tying the innominate: but they have resulted only in bringing out the fact that the collateral circulation established in such cases after the operation is ample. See the article AORT.V. INNOMINATE BONE (Lat. os innomina- tuiii. bone without a name). In human anatomy, the bone which forms the hip, and is provided with the socket into which the head of the femur is received. There are two of these bones in the skeleton, and each is formed by the union of the ilium, the ischium, and the pubic bone. See Skkij;to. INNOVATION. See Novatiox.
