Excerpt from Physiology of Farm Animals, Vol. 1
This book is addressed primarily to students of agriculture who may wish to obtain some knowledge of the simpler physiological processes as they occur in farm animals. It is hoped that it may be of use also to veterinary students. The second volume, by Professor Wood dealing with animal nutrition, will be published shortly.
I take this opportunity of expressing my indebtedness to all those who have co-operated with me. Professor Wood has kindly read the proof sheets and made various useful suggestions. Mr E. T. Hahian, besides contributing the chapter on the sense organs, has also read the proof sheets and given me the benefit of his criticism; moreover, all those drawings which are new are the work of his hand. Mr R. H. Adie and Lieut-Colonel W. A. Wood have read the chapter on the locomotor organs and given me the advantage of their special knowledge. I wish to offer my grateful thanks also to those authors and publishers who have allowed me to reproduce illustrations from other works; in particular I desire to mention Sir Edward Sharpey Schafer and Messrs Longmans, Green and Co. I am under much obligation to Major-General F. Smith for the use I have made of his Manual of Veterinary Physiology, published by Messrs Bailliere, Tindall, Cox and Co. Lastly I wish to thank my friend and colleague, Mr K. J. J. Mackenzie, for his constant encouragement and kindly interest, and for the ready help which he has always placed at my disposal.
