Excerpt from The Labyrinth of Animals, Vol. 1: Including Mammals, Birds, Reptiles and Amphibians

Representations of the membranous labyrinth are to be found m numerous text-books and papers, but none of these show the object as it really is. Such representations, how ever correct, are only composite pictures built up by succes sive generations of anatomists from observations made upon small fragments, sections and casts of the labyrinth. They reach a high degree of accuracy considering the methods of investigation at the disposal of the anatomists who made them, and it is astonishing how these investigators were able, in face of such difficulties, to construct such wonder fully accurate reproductions. This is more particularly true of the labyrinth of man, which has naturally been studied the most. Indeed, it will be seen that I have but little to add to what is already known of the anatomy of the human labyrinth.
