vi PREFACE 



sional courses, time as well as instructional sequence and useful 

 selection is equally important. It would be unfortunate if the 

 high reputation always enjoyed by the anatomical sciences, of 

 moving safely forward point by point were not used to the extent 

 possible to counterbalance the rather observable tendency towards 

 pedagogical confusion. 



The writer appreciates the response of various instructors to 

 his desire for information as to necessary and advisable emenda- 

 tions of the text. He is under particular obligation to Dr. E. H. 

 Craigie, University of Toronto, for a critical revision of the account 

 of the central nervous system which should add materially to the 

 value of this section from both structural and functional points of 

 view.
