Abstract

THE choice of a mammalian type suitable for dissection as an introduction to human anatomy and physiology has usually fallen on the rabbit or the rat. The rodent, however, is in many ways less suitable than the carnivore, which is less primitive and is structurally a little nearer to man. We welcome, therefore, this book on the cat as an elementary account of a common and easily obtained mammal. Functional Anatomy of the Mammal A Guide to the Dissection of the Cat and an Introduction to the Structural and Functional Relationship between the Cat and Man. By Asst. Prof. W. James Leach. (McGraw-Hill Publications in the Zoological Sciences.) Pp. viii + 231. (New York and London: McGraw-Hill Book Co. Inc., 1946.) 12s. 6d.
