3. P. 258. The morphological characteristics of the structural (or histo- 

 logical) unit have been pointed out by Mall, so that the brief inadequate 

 definition seems sufficient for the occasion. 



4. P. 252. The account of the formation of sinusoids is somewhat sche- 

 matic. We now know that the intercrescence of the vessels and parenchyma 

 offers variations especially in its mode of beginning. 



5. P. 259. Huntington's Anatomy of the Peritonseum, etc. (1903), is written 

 entirely from the genetic and comparative standpoint. This excellent work, 

 however, is not a general text-book, and in no sense belongs in the class of 

 manuals criticized in the text. Even Huntington's account of the liver 

 seems to me not to take sufficient advantage of our morphological knowledge, 

 especially as regards the primary connection of the liver with the diaphragm 

 and also as regards the sinusoidal circulation.
