Description
Excerpt from Illustrations of Comparative Anatomy: Vertebrate and Invertebrate, for the Use of Students in the Museum of Zoology and Comparative Anatomy
The specimens and dissections described in the following pages have been prepared to illustrate the most important forms in Invertebrate and Vertebrate Anatomy.
When the first edition of these descriptions, entitled 'List of Dissections,' was published in 1871, Invertebrate Anatomy alone was illustrated. We have now included four representative Vertebrate forms - Rat, Pigeon, Frog, and Perch: and have increased the series of Invertebrata from 55 to 90; adding to it several specimens, with detailed descriptions, of the Exoskeleton in those forms where such descriptions are not to be met with in the text-books that are commonly used by English students.
All the descriptions have been carefully revised. As in the former edition, we have not attempted to give a complete account of each dissection, but merely an indication of its leading features, to enable students more readily to recognise the points dwelt upon in the literature of the subject, or in lectures; and to shew them clearly the position and relation of the organs which they will subsequently have to examine when they begin to dissect.
