Suggested Reading 



The references are grouped by chapters with those in periodicals placed at the 

 end of each group. 



The references include well-seasoned books, and new ones, selected because they are 

 important, well written and lively. Even in comparative anatomies there may be humor, 

 detectable to readers who are sensitive to it.
