paYsIoLoeY OF TEE WOMAN QUESTION

Students Of physiology see that final
and conclusive law can not yet be drawn
from differences in brain. weights and meas
urements. because of the present imper-
lection of such data. But there is an even
broader and better foundation from which
to build up q conclusion, and l propose to
stand on this more general ground. In
order, however, that such physiological de-
tails may have due influence upon the gen.
eral argument, l give a few of tbs best
established facts. Professor Bastian's
work on the brain, published in 1880, sums
up his studies of this organ as affected by
sex. l condense or quote from him the
following statements Difference OF sex,
in its influence over capacity of skull, is
often greater than difference Of race.
Difference of crsnial capacity between the
sexes increases with the development of
the race, so that the male European excels
much much more the female than the negro
the negress The difference in the average
capacity of the skulls of male and female
among modern Parisians is almost double
that between the skulls of the male
and female inhabitants of ancient Egypt.
The general superiority, in absolute
weight, of the male over the female brain
exists at every period OF development. In
newborn infants the brain was found by
Tiedemann to weigh from IA ounces to
l53 ounces in the male, and from 10 to IS!
ounces in the female. The maximum
weight of the adult male brain in series
of 27S cases was 65 ounces the minimum
weight 81 ounces. The maximum weight
of the adult female brain in a series of l9l
cases was Sc ounces; the minimum, 81
ounces. In a large proportion the male
brain ranges between &c and 81 ounces,
and the female between 4 and AZ ounces.
A mean average weight of 49, ounces may
be deduced for the male, and "A ounces for
the female brain" 1t is further given, on
the authority of Gratiolet and others, that
the male brain cannot fall below 81 ounces
without involving idiocy while the female
may fall to 80 without such a result. All
accepted authorities agree that the average
male brain exceeds the average female
brain in weight by about ten per cent.
Professor Thurman also adds, "The brain
weight of the male negro is the same as
that of the female European. miss nj.
