Excerpt from On the Structure and Development of the Skull in the Pig (Sus Scrofa), And, on the Structure and Development of the Skull in the Mammalia: Part II. Edentata; Part III. Insectivora

Since my first attempt to work out the Mammalian type of skull, the greater part of my time has been spent upon Cold-blooded vertebrata-fishes, Amphibia, and Reptiles. But between the early part of 1873, when my paper on the skull of the Pig was presented to the Royal Society, to the beginning of 1882, when I was able to take up this Class once more, no time or chance was lost as far as materials for work go; during those nine years a very large collection of embryos and of early young of the various types of Mammalia was made.

This collection of materials is still going on, and will I trust go on for years to come. No work lies before me of greater importance; and if the skull m the Orders of this, the highest Class, can thus be illustrated, it will give some roundness and shape to the efforts and labour of the whole life of a never-weary worker.
