HUMAN AND COMPARATIVE AsATcHf AND PHYSIOLOGY.

Lecture By DIR. Il. G. Lemercier.
Last evening the first Of series of lectures was
delivered by DR.. +. G. Lemercier in the Athenaum,
Brooklyn, the subject being "The Gorilla-Compari
son OF Its Organs with those Of Man." After a few
preliminary observations the lecturer commenced
by saying that prior to 1912 the gorilla scarcely
heard OF. Since that period, however, several i'm
portant discoveries had been made and the animal
was at the present day comparatively well known.
The lecturer then proceeded to describe the forma.
tion OF the gorilla, detailing minutey its organiza-
tiOn. By means OF skelenos the lecturer enabled
to present lucid idea Of Its construction. He
showed how the muscles moved and gave generally
clear definition OF its powers. In demonstrating
the smarity which existed between the formation
OF the human frame and that OF the gorilla he ex-
planned that both possessed almost the same kind
OF muscles, except that the animal had larger
number in some portions OF the body, which were,
OF course, OF a much stronger description. There
were the same numOer OF muscles In the arm but
there was not the organization In the hand, as
the hand OF the gorilla was unable to touch anybody
in delicate manner, while 1t did not possess the
faculty OF bending the thumb to the same extent as
comparison between the organic formation OF the
gorilla and the human frame, ne allndeh to the
ssre Tens1 Of the former citing an
gun with ease ana described the fear with
which the natives regarded the beast. But
beasts and man was the nervous system. The brain
OF the gorilla was very small: lie Illustrated how

OF animals including fish, rats, cats BUTTERFLIES and
monkeys. The elephant had the largest brain OF all
the animals. In the course OF his lecture Dr. Lemer
cier fully explained the subject by means OF the
skulls OF the animals which he mentioned. In the
human species the brain and the animal part grow
together In some cases up to forty years but In
animals the constitution OF tncir nervous system de-
tered le growth OF their brain. Mah's Intelligence
was gradually being developed. People thought
they knew great deaf ut the present day,
but the coming generation would develop much

The senses which tend To serve the nutritive were
also IN backward condition. The measurement
OF the human brain was IN some IS cubic inches,
while In the gorilla IL was only forty four. Tne
human species alone had power to improve the
brain, but In the animal IL was always the same.
Having fully explained the subject by means Of nu-
merous skeletons and bones the lecturer conclneed
very Interesting discourse by observing that the
gorilla was born beast and must always remain
beast, because 1t was so ordained.

to the President men from among themselves to be
appointed superintendents and agents for the In
