This is effective as presented on page 55, where a large hand lens magnifies a section of the parietal bone; unfortunately, however, the effect might be overlooked on page 15, figure B, where the magnifying lens is presented in a diminutive form. The use of the insert, as in figure B on page 34, adds much to the understanding of the three divisions of the trigeminal nerve. On page
