PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION. 



In the preparation of the Second Edition the whole of the text has 

 been carefully revised, but, except at a few places, the alterations 

 made have not been extensive or important, and the amount of new 

 matter added has increased the volume of the work by only thirteen 

 pages. The Plates which illustrated the First Edition have been 

 faithfully reproduced, and a few new figures have been introduced in 

 the text. For three of the latter I am indebted to the kindness 

 of Mr J. T. Share-Jones, M.E.C.V.S., Demonstrator of Anatomy in 

 the Eoyal Veterinary College ; and the remainder have been repro- 

 duced from the excellent text-book of Leisering and Muller. 



I venture to hope that the book will continue to be of service 

 to teachers and students in the prosecution of the very important 

 branch of veterinary education to which it relates.
