![PEEFACE. The. present work was written primarily to raeet the wants of the students attending the course of instruction in Practical Histology in The Owens College, but it is hoped that it will be found useful also to students of medicine and science in other colleges and universities. The Exercises printed in small type are intended for Senior Students, and for those attending the course of Advanced Histology given in The Owens CoUege. Although a drawing accompanies almost every exercise, still this is not intended to relieve the student from what is a most important part of the training in Practical Histology, viz., that the student should make sketches of his preparations. It serves very little useful purpose to give students sections ready pre- pared, and ask them merely to mount them. Hence, consider- able stress has been laid on methods, as a knowledge of these is, after all, one of the most important parts of a practical training in Histology. Many methods have been tried and found wanting, and accordingly those only are introduced which the author, after experiment, has found to be reliable. The author is indebted to the various IManuals of Histology published in this country, and also to those of Friedliinder and Eberth, Stbhr, Pol, KciUiker, ]\Iartinotti, Francotte, BoUes Lee and Henneguy, Orth, and Edinger, as well as the various Micro- scopical Journals, British and Foreign.
