Abstract
THE contents of this standard book are so well known and clearly indicated in the title that it is not necessary to review them. This edition has been revised by Prof. Tom Grohame and, while the bulk of it remains the same, there has been a certain amount of revision and three noteworthy alterations. First, after the descriptions of most of the muscles, a brief note on the function of each has been appended. Secondly, the number of illustrations has increased from 91 to 128 plus a frontispiece. The frontispiece is that of the skeleton of the dog, the majority of the new text-figures are of bones to illustrate the position of the origins and insertions of the muscles, and the last, accompanied by about three pages of description, is to illustrate the superficial lymph vessels and nodes. Thirdly, the new edition contains nine radiographs well reproduced upon plates. These three additions add materially to the usefulness of the book from the student's point of view. There is perhaps one criticism that can be made of the radiographs and that is, seeing it is the student's first introduction to these valuable aids, they might be more fully labelled and explained in the accompanying legends.
