Extract

The first and second parts of this work (7, 8), on the skeleton and muscles respectively, were published in the Transactions of the Society for 1905 and 1907. The third part would naturally have related to the viscera, and this, in fact, is in active preparation, but it is first necessary to amplify the description of the skeleton. Figs. 1 and 2 in my first part were based on dissections, which were executed very carefully, and the results checked by the examination of serial sections. It is, however, peculiarly difficult, and especially so in Myxine, to preserve the natural relations of the parts, and these drawings therefore exhibit the defects incidental to the method by which they were prepared. I mean by this, not that they are inaccurate, but that the interrelationships of the parts could not be faithfully represented. Quite apart from this, however, it became necessary to re-draw these figures.
