 and are inserted into tlie middle and distal phalanges. Note the 

 ^(■\atnoi'l l>oni\^ on the palntar side of the joints of the digits. 



J. Side dissection. 



Obtain another rabbit, and make a dissection from the side {compare 

 Fig. 125) as directed in the case of the dogfish and frog (p. 464). 

 Make out the structure and relations of all the principal organs once 

 more, and sketch your dissection. 



K. Transverse sections. 



The examination of transverse sections is most easily and satisfactorih- 

 ilone by preparing microscopical sections of a fnetus (p. 532) not more 

 than a couple of inches in length, as directed in the case of the young 

 dogfish (p. 464) : a fielal rat or mouse «ill answer the purpose equalK 

 well. 



With a sharp knife, cut transverse sections, about Jth inch thick, from 

 the following regions : <?, snout ; l>, cranial region ; (-, neck ; d, thorax ; 

 and t", abdomen. .Stain and imbed, and then cut and mount one or 

 two scetirins of each, examining them \\ithak>w power and making 

 sketches. 



Then ]>ut on the high tiiiTwer, and make out as much as possible of 

 the histology of the various organs.
