y be so used in elementary courses as to obviate
much of the dissections upon lower animals. Although the actual tissues
cannot be so well portrayed, the general form and construction of organs
are much better shown. Models well adapted to class or laboratory work are
easily obtained through supply houses. Illustrations of several of these
are shown in connection with the "Practical Work."
