    philosophy, botany, or zoology, an outlook over the problems, facts, theories, and hypotheses of life ; in other words, I wished to give him an introduction to general physiology, and thus afford him an idea of the important theoretical basis of his study. It is not easy to adapt oneself to these diverse aims. How far I have succeeded in doing this, only the judgment of the reader can decide. I bespeak his indulgent criticism. I gratefully acknowledge my obligations to all my friends who have taken active part in the planning, developing, and com- pleting of my task, and especially to Mr. Gustav Fischer, who has shown great liberality in the publication of the book.
