the work of M. Giraid, Director of the Veterinary 

 School at Paris. And in framing his nomencla- 

 ture in accordance with that in use among- human 

 anatomists, the Author has availed himself of the pro- 

 ducts of the labours of his own countryman, the clever 

 and indefatigable Stubbs. To Mr. Bean, also, who aided 

 him in the dissection of the nerves ; and likewise to Mr. 

 Smith, for an account of the ear, the Author begs to 

 kindly acknowledge his obligations. 



That many, very many discoveries, and most import- 

 ant and valuable ones too, yet remain to be made 

 through anatomical research, no one conversant in the 

 science will pretend to gainsay ; and that they, in the 

 progress of time, will come to light, and redound amply 

 to the credit of those who may elicit them, is no less the 

 firm persuasion than the fervent hope of the Author 

 of the work herewith offered to the profession.
