The intimate recesses of the animal system were to the students of anatomy what the anterior of Africa long was to geographers, and the stories of microscopic explorers were as much sneered at as those of Bruce or Du Chailly, and with better reason.

He might be asked to say how he comes by his knowledge, and that should prove a difficult question to answer.
