explanation of his tremendous power
in some one direction is offered by
the examination of his brain after
death Only lately a very eminent sur

his brain was examined it was found
that for a large part it was like a
child's, but in those parts especially
required by his profession it was de-
yeloped far more than is usual and
the layers of gray matter at these
spots were inordinately thick. 1t is
never right to draw any broad con-

distinct species of the genus are

first to America from Spain early in
the sixteenth century and planted in
the island of Santo Domingo, whence
