MENTAL ASSOCIATIONS OF PARTS OF THE BRAIN MASS
-Four methods may be employed in order to ascertain
the mental associations OF parts Of the brain mass
l. The chronological. The skull was accepted as an
index Of the form Of the brain land certain number OF
correspondence between cranial forms and marked
character held to demonstrate the locality OF mena
faculties and propenstes. That this method not sat

assures OF the BRAIN ana the outer cranlai surface
b. BY that phrenol0gst has ventured To draw
the brain ITSELF aud from what have learned IL is
