Renaming the Masthead HistoryofMedicineandBiology.com

It has been about a year and a half since the former printed book version of the annotated bibliography appeared in its interactive form online. According to the automatic tabulation, as of this date (October 6, 2016) 1045 entries have either been significantly revised from the last printed edition or are entirely new. Besides the many significant revisions and additions I have corrected innumerable small mistakes, which still turn up in a work of this size. The bibliography is presently indexed to 628 subjects.

From its beginning by Fielding H. Garrison early in the twentieth century this bibliography included subjects like evolution and biology as well as medicine, and as I have added new material to most of the subject areas I have found myself expanding subjects such as evolution, zoology, and natural history. To draw attention to the biological aspects along with the medical aspects we have renamed the masthead HistoryofMedicineandBiology.com.
