Abstract
THE third part of Professor Walmsley's “Manual of Practical Anatomy “is devoted to the dissection of the head and neck, for which a period of about ten weeks is suggested. The usual order of dissection is adopted, the various regions and organs Being treated separately, but without that strict confinement to region which is so confusing to the student when dealing with a structure which appears in different portions of the dissection. The instructions for the guidance of the dissector are clearly given; the anatomical descriptions are complete and well illustrated by diagrams which the student is encouraged to label from his own specimen. The only defect in the book is that the index is not very complete. We are glad to observe that the nomenclature is in the British (Old) terminology. The book can be thoroughly recommended as a guide to the student in the dissecting-room.
