As the first of our series of Modern Monographs, we offer no apology iu 

 presenting to our readers the celebrated Inaugural Dissertation of J. Fischer, 

 on the Pelvis of the Mammalia, a work of great value, and extreme rarity. 

 In order to give the author's ideas with the greatest possible exactness, we 

 esteem ourselves happy in presenting a translation expressly prepared for the 

 British Eecord of Obstetric Medicine and Surgery, by EOBEET ZKOX, Esq., 

 M. D., F. E. S., &c., &c. ; and have no doubt, under his able superintendence, 

 it will form a Monographic gem of the highest interest and value.
