" According to Aristotle, Empedocles had said that those 

 animals which are hottest live in the water to counteract the 

 excess of heat in their constitution {De respir. 477 b 1 IF.). 



* The Dissections, in seven Books, is no longer extant. 

 Aristotle several times refers to the "diagrams in the Dis- 

 sections " and the like {e.g. 746 a 14), and it was no doubt a 

 collection of material with anatomical diagrams prepared 

 for use in the lecture-room. Jaeger (Aristotle, Eng. trans., 

 336), following V. Rose, describes it as an anatomical atlas.
