A selection of 51 Slides, made from the original instantaneous negatives of Professor Muybridge ; and in addition slides from any of the other subjects in this celebrated collection can be supplied to special order. Each of these slides contains on the average 24 distinct instantaneous pictures showing the several stages of the pace or movement dealt with, and as these transitional phases can be compared with each other at leisure, the purpose served is complementary to that of the ordinary kinematograph (of which Professor Muybridge’s invention was the great forerunner). The kinematograph, from a series of little negatives, reproduced motion synthetically, whereas in these slides animal motions are analysed and the various successive phases of them presented side by side in a most interesting and instructive manner. 1 Man, athlete, starting for a run. 59. 2 ,, ,, running at ^-mile gait. 60. 3 ,, ,, jumping, running straight high jump. 153. 4 ,, ,, jumping, running twist high jump, 158.
