PHYSIOLOGY, ANATOMY, ETC. 43 



Humphry (G. M..)— continued. 



In lecturing on the Skeleton it has been the author' s practice, instead 

 of giving a detailed account of the several parts, to request his 

 students to get up the descriptive anatomy of certain bones, with the 

 aid of some work on osteology. He afterwards tested their acquire- 

 ments by examination, endeavouring to supply deficiencies and 

 correct errors, adding also such information— physical, physiologi- 

 cal, pathological, and practical — as he had gathered from his own 

 observation and researches, and which was likely to be useful and 

 excite an interest in the subject. This additional information 

 forms, in great part, the material of this volume, which is intended 

 to be supplementary to existing works on anatomy. Considerable 

 space has been devoted to the description of the joints, because it is 

 less fully given in other works, and because an accurate knowledge 

 of the structure and peculiar form of the joints is essential to a 

 correct knowledge of their movements. The numerous illustrations 

 were all drawn upon stone from nature; and in most instances, 

 from specimens prepared for the purpose by the author himself. 

 "Bearing at once the stamp of the accomplished scholar, and 

 evidences of the skilful anatomist. We express our admiration of 

 the drawings"— ^m&dizzS. Times and Gazette. 



OBSERVATIONS IN MYOLOGY. Svo. 6j-. 

 Professor Humphry'' s previous works have gained for him a very high 

 position as an original anatomist, and the present it is believed 

 will fully sustainjhat reputation, as well as prove valuable to al 

 who take an interest in the higher problems of anatomy. The work 

 includes the Myology of Cryptobranch, Lepidosiren, Dog-Pish, 

 Ceratodus, and Pseudopus Pallasii, with the Nerves of Cryptobranch 

 and lepidosiren and the Disposition of Muscles in Vertebrate 

 Animals. The volume abounds in carefully executed illustrations.
