Excerpt from The Topographical Anatomy of the Thorax and Abdomen, of the Horse The plan of the present book is the same as that of its predecessor on The Topographical Anatomy of the Limbs of the Horse. Its aim is also the same, namely, to serve as a sufficiently full dissection-guide for the student, and, possibly, to help the practitioner when in doubt respecting the topography of a region. My thanks are gratefully tendered to Mr. James T. Murray for again expending great care and patience on the preparation of drawings of dissections; to my colleague, Mr. T. Grahame, for help when reading the proof-sheets, and at other times; and to the publishers for their generosity in allowing a goodly number of illustrations, and for meeting my wishes in so far as the existing difficult circumstances have permitted.
