Summary: "Dissection of the Platana and the Frog" by J. D. F. Gilchrist and Cecil von Bonde is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This textbook is primarily aimed at students of zoology at the University of Cape Town and is designed to aid in the dissection of two specific amphibian species: the Platana or Clawed Toad ("Xenopus lævis") and the Frog ("Rana fuscigula"). The book addresses the specific anatomical features of these animals, which differ from those commonly referenced in textbooks from other regions. The content of the book provides a comprehensive guide for students engaging in anatomical dissection, outlining step-by-step procedures and observations for examining external and internal structures, including muscular, vascular, skeletal, and nervous systems. Each section emphasizes hands-on practice, with instructions for making accurate sketches of the dissections. The text draws comparisons between the two species, highlighting notable differences in anatomy, such as the absence of specific structures in the Platana, to deepen the student’s understanding of vertebrate zoology. Overall, the work serves as an educational resource that combines detailed anatomical knowledge with practical dissection skills tailored to the unique fauna of South Africa.
