Such of the illustrations of the pathological specimens as have not been lent me are, for the most part, from photographs and drawings of specimens in the Hunterian Museum, Glasgow University, in the Pathological Institute of the Western Infirmary, and in my own collection. The photographs of the different stages in the various operations were taken under my direction in the Glasgow Maternity Hospital. All the original drawings are by Mr. A. K. Maxwell, of Glasgow, to whom I am grateful for the trouble he has taken. I must also thank the publishers for the courtesy with which at all times they have met my wishes. J. M.
