    yn PREFACE TO THE REVISED EDITION. In revising and making some additions to the Descriptive Catalogue used in the Museum of the Sixth International Otological Congress, the original character of the volume has been preserved. Care has been taken to revise the numerous references that are given, and to eliminate the errors that so easily creep into work of this kind and detract from its value to those engaged in scientific research. W. J. H. 1900. A. H. C. PREFACE. We are desirous of recording how deeply we stand indebted to the Governing Bodies of Hospitals and Medical Schools, to the Curators of Museums, to our Foreign and British confreres, and to numerous friends for their invaluable kindness and assistance in completing a task entrusted to us by the Executive Committee of the Congress. To make clear our own responsibilities, we must add that we are alone respon- sible for the arrangement of the Museum and the Catalogue, and for any errors. The arrangement usually followed in museums of a temporary nature has been departed from. The general plan and aims of the Museum are given in the Intro- duction. In the Catalogue the specimens are described, and not merely named. It is hoped that with this guidance the Museum may be studied as an orderly and complete collection of illustrations of the Comparative Anatomy, Embryology, Anatomy, and Pathology of the special organs with which it deals, and that the Catalogue may be found to be a useful work for future reference.
