Observations on anencephaly

An apology may seem necessary at the outset for choosing the subject of this thesis from the ever seductive field of the extraordi.nary and the anomalous,when the medical curriculum abounds in 'suggestions of topics which might appear to have a greater claim on the attention, if. only from the standpoint of their more obvious practical utility. Interest and opportunity plead in explanation,an interest awakened by my being privilege to attend the first series of lectures delivered on Antenatal Pathology, by Br. Hallantyne in the University of Edinburgh, and opportunity by the provision of material through the kindness of. Prof. Leith and the Curators of the Pathological museum of the University of Birmingham where my attention was invited to the Teratelogiual collection and where some unmounted specimens of anencephaly were placed at my disposal for examination.
