Transcriber's Notes

Obvious typographical errors have been silently corrected. Variations in hyphenation, spelling and punctuation remain unchanged.

The large TABLE OF PHYSIOLOGY used curved braces to indicate groups. For clarity and to adjust to different screen/font sizes, these have been replaced by straight lines. In addition, to fit within page width considerations, the first column of these tables has been transposed into individual table section headings.

An analytical table of contents for all three volumes was included with volume III. This has been copied into this volume and the appropriate section has been linked to the relevant pages.

The outline Table of Contents was added by the transcriber.
