Excerpt from A Guide to the Dissection of the Dog During recent years the feeling that there was room for a book in English dealing with the anatomy of the dog has been steadily gaining ground. Doubtless, in the opinion of many, the gap can be adequately filled only by a systematic treatise similar to the classic 'Anatomie des Hundes' of Ellenberger and Baum. Until some such work makes its appearance, perhaps the present publication may serve as a temporary means of supplying the deficiency. For several reasons it was decided to introduce the subject of canine anatomy to the English reader in the form of short notes planned to aid him in his desire to obtain first-hand knowledge by dissection. Herein are given directions which experience has shown will help the student to display the various organs and structures in an orderly and profitable manner. The descriptions which follow are purposely given in the briefest possible form, in order that the dissection of the whole animal may be accomplished within a reasonable length of time. While primarily intended for the guidance of the student who proposes to join the ranks of a profession which already contains a fair number of specialists whose work necessitates a close knowledge of the anatomy of the dog, it is hoped that these notes may be of some service to the student of comparative anatomy who wishes to gain an acquaintance with the structure of an easily obtained mammal. The nomenclature herein employed is that which may be called the Baden and Stuttgart modification of the B.N.A. of the human anatomist; and, if not perfect, is infinitely better than the nondescript nomenclature, crowded with synonyms, formerly found in works on comparative anatomy. My thanks are due to my colleague, Mr. W. M. Mitchell, M.R.C.V.S., for assistance in many directions; and to the publishers for the cordial manner in which they have met my suggestions.
