Abstract
THE size of this little book will indicate that it concains a mere sketch of the large subject of which it treats. It is written for the purpose of supplying non-medical readers with an introductory account of mammalian physiology, in the hope that they subsequently will take up the question more fully. Prof. Osborne has in Melbourne to teach students of agriculture and veterinary science, in addition to those who are taking full medical or science courses, and it is to the former class of students that the work is specially addressed. One can hardly doubt that agriculturists, especially in Australia, where the breeding of domestic animals forms such a large part of their work, will benefit greatly if they have a rational substratum of physiological facts at their disposal.
