This volume is one of a set of concise, well-illustrated and authoritative studies of natural and experimental lesions of laboratory animals (rat, mouse and hamster) arranged by organ systems. Carefully identified pathologic features are correlated with biologic, toxicologic and behavioral data. The frequency and significance of specific lesions in different species and strains from different geographic regions and laboratory environments are depicted graphically. The significance of each lesion is considered and comparisons are made with other species including man. The authors are specialists working in laboratories throughout the world, and each contribution is critically reviewed by an international editorial board. As with other volumes in the set, an internationally applicable nomenclature for recording and evaluating pathologic data produced in safety studies is proposed.

During the years that have intervened since the third volume of the International Life Seiences Institute (ILSI) Monographs on Pathology of Laboratory Animals, Digestive System, was published, new information of interest to pathologists has developed at a rather remarkable pace. Standardized nomenclature has been proposed and gained significant acceptance during the period since the first edition and isbeing utilized on aninternational basis. Thishas resulted in improvement in communi cationof pathologic data to reguiatory agencies and inscientific publica tions worldwide. This monograph series and others sponsored by ILSI have had significant effects on improved communications and the inter national acceptance of standardized nomenclature. In this second edition, new formats have been used in some instances where more appropriate for the subjects to be eovered. The format introduced in the first edition remains useful as it emphasizes the neces sityto reeognize the morphologie features of pathologic lesions to iden tify them precisely. This identifieation is an essential first step toward development of new insightsintopathogenetic meehanismsand their use in decisions eventually applieable to public health. Newinformation is included in thisedition on the nature and variability of preneoplastic lesions in the Iiver of laboratory rodents. Data on the aeeompanying changes in enzyme activity in affeeted Iiver cells are ex panded, and additional information on spongiosis hepatis in the rat and its relation to spongiotic pericytoma is a further feature. In a few in stanees, research on a pathologie entity has been Iimitedbut its recogni tionremains important. Thisjustifiesinclusion of suchentities in the new edition.

The story of Nazi Germany's most successful commerce raider of World War Two, sinking over 160,000 tons of Allied shipping. Ship 16 sank twenty-two British and Allied ships during its 110,000 miles and 602 days continuously - at sea until she was sunk by HMS Devonshire. Her exploits in the Atlantic and Indian Oceans over almost two years created huge problems for the Allies as they tried to find the mystery ship with twenty-six disguises. Sinking ship after ship, Atlantis also searched them for documents. Finding secret files on the Automedon regarding British troop dispositions in the Far East, this document hastened Japan's entry into the war. Eventually sunk in November 1941, the 350 crew of Atlantis, as Ship 16 had been named, were rescued by U-boat which towed them to the safety of the supply ship Python. Sunk again, four U-boats eventually took the survivors of both Atlantis and Python to safety in France. The story is told by the ship's First Officer and was recounted from his diaries kept aboard the Atlantis.
