CHAPTER V1. 
DISSECTION OF LITE, BIeAly. 
Lhe brain should be removed immediately after kill- 
zne the dog, and placed in alcohol for aweek or longer 
before dissecting. Lo prevent flattening wrap the brain 
zn raw cotton before placing rt cn the alcohol. 
Lo remove the brain, first skin the head, and cut off 
the muscles attached to the skull especially in the occipe- 
talregion. TLhenwetha small hand-saw carefully saw 
through the bone wn a horizontal plane round the skull 
so as torsolate the cap of the skull. Wath alittle care 
this can be doue wethout tearing the brain at all. Re- 
move the cap and with bone forceps chip off as much 
of the sides of the skull as 2s necessary to fully uncover 
the brain. Lake out the brain by lifting wt up care- 
fully from either end, and cutting the nerves that come 
off from the ventral surface. Cut the nerves so as to 
leave as much of a stump as possible adhering to the 
brain. 
Ln addition to the brain hardened wn alcohol rt will 
be convenient to harden twoother brains in Miller's or
