masse at the time of postmortem examinations, and still 

 allow reconstruction of the face without marked disfigure- 

 ment. Ninety-six of the cases in this series were thus ob- 

 tained from the postmortem room of the Friedrichshain 

 Krankenhaus, Berlin, for which privilege and for courtesies 

 shown me while using the laboratories of that institution 

 I wish to express grateful appreciation to Dr. Ludwig 

 Pick, Professor of Pathology, University of Berlin. 



The material for the other post-natal preparations was 

 furnished by the Daniel Baugh Institute of Anatomy of 

 Philadelphia. For this material, for laboratory facilities, 

 and for many valuable suggestions regarding the work, I 

 am under obligations to Professor Edward Anthony Spitzka, 

 Dr. H. E. Radasch, and Dr. Howard Dehoney. 



For the embryologic and fetal material I wish to thank 

 the Gynecological and Obstetrical Departments of Jeffer- 

 son Medical College, also Dr. Wilhelm Bode, Assistant 

 Pathologist to Friedrichshain Krankenhaus. 



The illustrations, which are natural size, unless other- 

 wise stated in the legends, are from the very accurate draw- 

 ings made by Miss Dorothy Peters, who has given the most 

 careful attention to detail. 



The majority of the dissections will be permanently 

 mounted and placed in the museum of the Daniel Baugh 

 Institute of Anatomy.
