    terms are often misleading, and wherever this is the case, other names have been substituted. An outline for a laboratory course in neuro-anatomy has been included, and this has been so arranged as to be easily adapted by the instructor to his par¬ ticular needs. Free use has been made of material gathered and arranged by others in the various handbooks, texts, and atlases that deal with the nervous system. The classification of the afferent paths and centers adopted here is based on the work of Sherrington. The terms which he introduced and which are now coming into general use have been employed. In the analysis of the cranial nerves the American conception of nerve components, so ably presented by Herrick, has been utilized. Illustrations have been borrowed from many sources, in each case duly accredited, and our indebtedness for permission to use them is gladly acknowl¬ edged. The majority of the figures have been made from drawings prepared for this purpose by Miss M. E. Bakehouse. The large number of illustrations and the excellent manner in which they have been reproduced is to be credited to the generous policy of the publishers, W. B. Saunders Co. My thanks are due to Dr. Olaf Larsell for reading the manuscript and for many valuable suggestions, and to Mr. Michael Mason for assistance in reading the proof. S. W. Ranson.
