PREFACE TO FIFTH EDITION 



The present edition of this book follows so soon after the 

 previous one that few changes have been made except in the 

 figures illustrating the text. Figures 26, 28, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 

 40, 4ia 47, 61, 62, 66, 74, 82, 86, 87, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99, 104 of the 

 previous edition have been remade of replaced by new figures. 

 Again I am especially indebted to Prof esor Morgan for his kind- 

 ness in furnishing figures 61, 62, and 66, and for many valuable 

 suggestions.
