Abstract
THIS book on the topographical anatomy of the rat is more detailed than that on any other laboratory or domestic animal. In addition to such systems as are usually treated at length in a dissecting manual, special attention has been devoted to the circulatory, nervous and endocrine systems. Thus there is a wealth of information for the biochemist and pathologist, no less than the anatomist, inasmuch as the Wistar rat has not only become the most common experimental animal, but has also attained the position of the animal presenting the highest standard of accuracy in anatomical description.
