The ear that Darwin illustrates in his
Descent of Man" as being allied to THE
pointed type belonging to our simian rela-
tives is not as uncommon as many may
imagine. IL is my observation that this
popularity of the fold In question is oftener
TO be observed in women, and in many Of
these cases the persistence of the wisdom
teeth is also a characteristic. / have in
mind two cases of this sort, one of man,
the other of woman, both residents of
one of our leading cities and among their
social and intellectual forces.
The latter is a remarkable reversion to an
earlier type IN ear, i'm teeth, in length of
arm, in painless childbirth, IN feasibility
of hand joints and i'm other marked charac-
teristics. 1t appears to me that the ear,
like the vermiiorm appendix, the suspen-
sion Of the viscera, the position of the ORR
flee Of the bladder and the unprotected CON
dition of certain main arteries is yet i'm a
transitional state. and not fully adapted %
