    LIST OF PREEARATIONS. The subjoined is a list of the 243 Preparations (including the Microscopic) sent with the Essay. They are frequently referred to in the course of the work. A coloured drawing is also given of the Spleen, and frequently of other viscera. Besides these, about 150 preparations have since been added; the latter are only alluded to in the additional notes. The Drawings and Pre- parations may be inspected during the next three months by any member of the profession ;,^fter this time, they will probably be deposited in some public Mliseum. They are exactly in the same state as when they were sent to Guy's Hospital. The Pathological Preparations are all marked with blue paint. As the Latm names of the animals are given after the description of each, it is un- necessary to repeat them here. MAMMALIA. ^rnana.—Preparation 1.
