It should be added that the photographic reproductions here shown are 

 so far from doing justice to the originals that they serve only to suggest the 

 method of treatment, without conveying an idea of the remarkably success- 

 ful manner in which artist and preparateur have overcome the technical 

 difficulties encountered.
