The identity of the fourth sketch on page six of the first series is not clear. Apart from their time-saving function in the lecture-room, these drawings should be most useful for revision. By indicating structures lying at different depths on separate sheets of tracing paper superimposed on the bony framework, quite a stereoscopic effect is obtained, and an excellent, individual atlas of anatomy can be constructed.
