Abstract
IN this large, copiously illustrated and splendidly produced volume, Prof. Edgeworth has brought together the knowledge which has been gained in the last hundred and fifty years of the comparative anatomy and embryology of the cranial muscles (and their motor nerves) in vertebrates. The author is well equipped for this task. Though not a professional zoologist he was for many years, until recently, professor of medicine in the University of Bristol he has long been a worker on this subject “so far as medical practice and teaching permitted”, and has become widely known from his many published observations which have added to our knowledge of the subject.
