 BOTH JANUARY, 1904. 



Professor R. W. REID, M.D., F.K.C.S., President, 

 in the Chair. 



The Minutes of the last meeting were read and approved. 



Accounts of anatomical variations found in the dissecting room 

 were read by the various observers. 



Professor Reid exhibited a series of frozen sections of the human 

 head which he had prepared for exhibition in the Anatomical Museum. 



He first pointed out the anatomical details shown in each section, 

 and then by means of the lantern he transferred the section to the 

 screen, where the details were viewed on an enlarged scale. 



With a vote of thanks to Professor Reid for his interesting de- 

 monstration the meeting closed. 



SAGITTAL AND COEONAL SECTIONS OF THE HUMAN HEAD. 



By R. W. RKID, M.D., F.R.C.S., Professor of Anatomy, 

 Aberdeen University. 



(With Plates XV. -XXV III.} 



The following reproductions of photographs taken in the Ana- 

 tomical Department of sagittal and coronal sections of the head, 

 recently placed upon the shelves of the Anatomical Museum, are of 

 interest from a topographical point of view. 



The sections were made with the view of showing the undisturbed 

 relations of portions of the head in certain planes which were con- 

 sidered to be of advantage in the study of the anatomy of that part of 

 the body, more especially from the medical and surgical point of view. 



They form an addition to the already numerous representations 

 of the human head in fro/en section. 



They do not pretend in any way to take the place of a careful 

 study of the original specimens themselves, for the sections are 

 replete with information which no reproduction can possibly display.
