the anatomy department and one additional instructor of anatomy
from the University of Maryland School of Medicine and from The
Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. The agency insures
the fair distribution of bodies to qualified medical schools. These
bodies are of deceased persons required to be buried at public ex-
pense. Such bodies are used only for the promotion of medical
science within the State of Maryland. If, however, the body is
claimed for burial by relatives, it is surrendered for interment (Code
1951, Art. 43, secs. 166-59).
