FOREWORD 



ADVANCED work in the study of poultry husbandry is now being 

 done in this country, to a greater or less extent, at all the two score 

 and more Agricultural and other Colleges and Experiment Stations. 

 From these institutions comes the demand for a text-book on the 

 Anatomy of the Domestic Fowl. No complete text-book on the 

 subject, up to the present, has existed. It is with the hope of 

 meeting the demand that this book is published. 



In supplementing the information gathered from the books and 

 articles listed in the bibliography, the author has spent much time 

 and effort in obtaining the matter here presented. As this, however, 

 is the initial complete text on the subject necessarily much remains 

 to be added and corrected. The author would welcome suggestions 

 and corrections from any one into whose hands the book may come.
