single new fact; and Prof. Broes has declared
that from the geological or anatomical point
Of view. man differs less from the four higher
apes than the latter do from the rest Of the
apes. The French savant. Gratiolet has ex-
pressed himself IN . similar way reGardins
| the difference between the human and the
simian brain. He says that the former has
throu ghout the same chars ctsr OF formation
as the brain Of the ape. The cersbellum Of
the Ape IL quite covered behind By the cere-
bfum. This latter has very much reduced
olfaotorJ lobes and large cornua to the lateral
yentrlcles. The optic nerve, also. vanishes. as
10 man, almost entirely in the large hcmi-
| spheres OF the brain. while in the other NAM
MALTA it has its own centre. Even the con-
volutions on which Prof. Huxley at one time
| laid some stress are essentially the same.
Hence all the differences between the brain
OF the man and that OF the ape relate
only to subordinate characters. and the most
noteworthy OF these have to do with tho con-
volutlons during total life. AZ regards q
