    the mo.-l imporiaiu huls of all, li'aviii;: iiiallcrs ol' dt'tail and cnntrovortcd tjuestions to tlu' ti'xt-l>ooks of ])liysiol()i:ical rluMiiistrv. In ])n'|)arin<x ilicsc s<.»ctions of the hook 1 have ivt-i'ived vcrv vaiiiahk' advit-i' from my di>liii- guished friend Ileir Professor Dr. K. A. II. Miirner. I may say further that the discussion of the elu'inieal processes of llie body is based in the main upon the text-books of llammarsten and Ncumeistcr. The experienced reader will find also that I have made frequent use of the pliysiological monoirrai)hs which have appeared within recent years. Espe- cially to be mentioned are the Ali-remeine Physiologic of \'erworn anil Die Zelle und die Gewehe' of (). llertwig, which constitute the chief sources of the chapter on the cell. With regard to the physiology of the sense organs 1 may state that J have treated them in this book chiefly from the point of view of the prac- ticing physician. For this reason the physical conditions of sensation have been discussed rather fully, while those investigations on sense perception falling within the borderland common to physiology and psychology, and of themselves so extremely imjiortaiit. have been discussed only in roughest outline, an exhaustive discussion being (piite beyond the scope of the book. In the citation of authorities 1 have tried to hold a middle course betwei'U the very numerous references found in many text-books and the entire ab- sence of them found in others. I must acknowledge, however, that I have not in all cases succeeded in finding the proper middle course. The few references given will direct the reader's attention to only the more recent monographic discussions of the a])proj)riate sections. Probably I should have referred throughout to the '' llandbiuh der Physiologic edited by Hermann. I must content myself, however, with citing it here once for all. Among the many beautiful illustrations, which I owe to the liberality of my puldisher, the majority have been taken from the original papers of the authors cited in the figures. Figs. 3, fi, 7, 55, fil, 80, .S;3, 80, 87, 88, 121 have been Itorrowed, with the courtesy of the publishers, from Physiolo- gischen Graphik of Langendorff. KOUEUT TlGEKSTEDT. Stockholm, May 1, l.S'J7.
