VI PREFACE. 



and, then with the microscope, examine the minute structure and 

 picture the histology of the same parts. For these purposes the 

 class should be taken in small sections, divided into groups of two 

 to four students, and each group should be provided with a well 

 hardened human brain. It is desirable that each student should 

 receive a well stained microscopic section of every important part. 

 This is, however, often impossible; and the instructor may get 

 along with considerable satisfaction, by having the students ex- 

 change, if he has but a few sets of slides. 



The author wishes to acknowledge his indebtedness to recent 

 literature and to standard works on anatomy. McMurrich's 

 "Development of The Human Body," Barker's "BNA" and 

 Barker's " Nervous System," the work of Dr. Alfred W. Camp- 

 bell, " Histological Studies on the Localization of Cerebral Func- 

 tion," the "Text-book of Anatomy" and "Memoirs " of D. J. 

 Cunningham, F. R. S., and the fourth edition of Morris's " Human 

 Anatomy" have been especially useful. 



I desire to express my appreciation of the kindly assistance of 

 my colleague, Prof. Wm. T. Eckley, M. D.; and to say that the 

 artistic merit of the new illustrations in this book belongs to my 

 friend and pupil, Mr. Zan D. Klopper, of Chicago, who sketched 

 the original drawings from my own specimens. My thanks are 

 also due to the publishers of this little monograph, for many 

 favors and courtesies shown me, particularly for allowing me to 

 select illustrations from Gordinier, McMurrich and Morris, works 

 published by them.
