list of chapters and authors will, in the minds of these 

 advisors, give the Handbook a comprehensive defini- 

 tive coverage with an international viewpoint. 



The editors want to express their gratitude to these 

 advisors, to the authors who have so conscientiously 

 and constructively done their arduous tasks at great 

 personal sacrifice, to our colleagues here in Georgia, 

 R. P. Ahlquist and Carleton Baker, who have helped 

 willingly and well. Especially valuable has been the 

 knowledgeable and cooperative assistance of John W. 

 Remington who has turned to, well beyond the call 



of duty. We are most indebted to the energy and 

 accuracy of the departmental secretary, Mrs. Juanita 

 Coufal. Our greatest debt of all is to Mrs. W'alter J. 

 Brown Jr., whose clairvoyant insight into the meaning 

 of strange sentences from abroad, whose feeling for 

 the right word in their '"translation," and whose un- 

 derstanding of physiological principles have borne 

 worthy fruit.
