It is admitted beyond all question that even an elementary study of human physiology ought to be preceded by a more or less thorough dissection of some mammal. This little book, prepared originally for the authors own class, is intended to give this necessary anatomical basis to those who have not the opportunity of dissecting the human body. With this purpose in view, attention has been directed to those organs which are the chief objects of physiological study, rather than to those which have mainly an anatomical interest. One chapter has been inserted treating of the anatomy of the muscles of the shoulder and arm, but the author does not think it advisable to require this of a class unless there is abundance of time at the teachers disposal. The anatomy of these muscles is of no particular importance in general physiology, and even from the standpoint of comparative anatomy it has but little value owing to the incomplete knowledge possessed with regard to muscle homologies among the mammalia. With reference to the muscles of the abdomen and the thorax the case is very different: these muscles play an important part in the performance of the respiratory movements, and their position and relations ought to be known by the student.
