SIR THOMAS BROWN.

He Appreciated the Value Of FossiIs
and Studied Graves.
He was a physician, and, while Civ
ing only his leisure to science and lit
erature, he became a leading authority
in the zoology and botany of Great Brit
ain, says Popular Science Monthly. He
introduced the word commercially"
now in common use, to express a state
of many living together, as it were, at
the same table. The word was men,
toned by johnson as an example of
useful term, which if rejected, must be
supplied by circumlocution. Browne
was a pioneer in the scientific study Of
graves and their C" Itents. He appre-
ciated the value of fossils. He was also
a comparative anatomist, and constant
ly engaged in such topics as the anat-
omy of the horse, the pigeon, the beav-
er, the badger, the whale. In a note
on an anatomy of spermaceti whale
the following passage occurs: 1T con-
tanned no less than sixty feet in length,
the head somewhat peculiar, with
large prominence over the mouth; teeth
only in the lower jaw, received into
fieshy sockets in the upper. The
weight of the largest about two
pounds; no gristly substance in the
mouth, commonly called whalebones;
only two short fms on the
back; the eyes but small" This is
very good note, we think, and written
in scientific spirit. He studied animal
mechanism, especially the gaits of the
quadrupeds and the acts of swimming
and floating; the problems Of right and
left handedness and the erect figure Of
man. He tells us that "temperamental
dignotlons" can be detected by study
ing spots on the finger nails. Physi.
clans even of our own day have not
formulated knowledge on this curious
subject. He discovered the animal soap
now called adipocre "He would have
made very extraordinary man for the
privy council" we are told by his biog-
rapher.
