    EDITOR'S PREFACE. In no science is the advance at any one time general. Some sections of the line are pushed forward while other parts may remain for years with little movement, until in their turn they are enabled to progress in consequence of the support afforded by the advance of the adjacent sections. The increasing number of series of monographs in different sciences is a recognition of this fact, as well as of the concentration of interest which characterises this a«'e of o specialisation. In the present series it is intended to set out the progress of physiology in those chapters in which the forward movement is the most pronounced. Each mono¬ graph will contain an account of our knowledge of some particular branch of physiology, written by one who has himself contributed in greater or less degree to the attain¬ ment of our present position. It is hoped that by securing the help of men who are actively engaged in the advance of the subject the outlook of each monograph will be for¬ wards rather than backwards. An exhaustive account of previous writings on the subject concerned is not aimed at, but rather an appreciation of wrhat is worth retaining in past work, so far as this is suggestive of the paths along which future research may be fruitful of results. The more valuable the monographs in inspiring the work of others, the greater will be the success of the series. ERNEST H. STARLING.
