PREFACE. 



THE Translator desires to take this opportunity of thanking 

 Dr. J. F. Payne and Dr. Broadbent for the kind aid they have 

 given him in revising the proof-sheets of his translation of 

 Professor Meynert's difficult essay on the- Structure of the 

 Brain in Mammals, contained in this Volume. Without their 

 assistance, many passages that are now, he trusts, sufficiently 

 intelligible, would have remained almost hopelessly obscure. 



In the very full and careful review of the First Volume of 

 this book, that appeared in the 121st number of the American 

 Journal of Medical Sciences, attention was called to an inter- 

 polation on p. 91. It may just be stated that this was a 

 manuscript note, forwarded by Professor Strieker with a request 

 that it might be here inserted. 



An important error occurs in Vol. I., p. 277, line 6, in the 

 substitution of the word "former" for "latter." It should 

 read " To the latter belong the veins," etc. 



The translation of the Third Volume is nearly completed, 

 and the first sheets are in the press.
