    one which I have constructed, and which will be found indicated in the concluding chapter of this volume. At the same time, it must be remembered that whilst I have attempted to gather together all the diseases of the skin to which the term congenital could be correctly, if only occasionally applied, Unna has separated for special consideration only such as may properly be designated cutaneous deformities or malformations. This volume I have ventured specially to dedicate to Professor A. R. Simpson, who this year celebrates the twenty- fifth anniversary of his appointment to the Chair of Midwifery and Diseases of Women and Children in the University of Edinburgh. I may here again acknowledge the constant kindness and encouragement that I have received at his hands, both when I had the good fortune to serve as his assistant, and since. In conclusion, it may be stated that with the exception of the drawings illustrating sclerema and oedema neonatorum, which are from specimens in my own possession, the Plates in this volume are copied from the works of Kyber, Caspary, Straube, and Arndt. J. W. BALLANTYNE. 24 Melville Street, Edinburgh, April 1895.
